I spend several hours everyday reading various reasonably trusted sources and I still feel that I'm under informed about truly important things.

  And that's the elegance of it. Think about a room where people are having a conversation. Somewhere in the room a fight breaks out over an absolutely ridiculous theory, but still, good luck continuing your conversation. Now imagine that wherever you go people will butt in on your conversation and try to derail it. Before long you won't be able to have any conversations in public at all. Especially not ones that come to some kind of reasonable conclusion or balanced viewpoint. Just like with any good bar brawl by the time it gets underway for real nobody knows who they are fighting or what they were fighting for or who started it. For all you know the people that started it are already in another bar doing the same thing.
