Thanks to very-forgiving laws on things like how accurate advertising has to be, and tolerance for pages and pages of legal terms required to engage in so many common activities, in the US the average citizen has so much to worry about just in terms of "am I going to get ripped off if I buy this / sign this contract" that there's gonna be even less available mental energy or care to give to "is this person making sense in their interpretation of the news" and such.
