The #mainstream#media's constant "On the one hand... on the other..." approach to pretty much every #issue is definitely not helping the general public's apparent endorsement of the #aphorism "For every #complex#problem, there is a simple, easy-to-understand #wrong#answer".
If we want an educated - or at least informed - public, we have to stop over-simplifying the issues and facts, turning them to blenderized pablum, and get people to appreciate that real life isn't simple, black-and-white.
