We accept that schools are boring and psychology isn't required to turn stupid people smart (or uninformed to educated if you'd like). Perhaps if we thought of news as education instead of entertainment, we'd accept it being boring and maybe get smarter.

I wish there was a way to measure if people actually are stupid and see if it is getting better or worse. I don't want to be arrogant, I want to be factual.
