There are topics branded as "serious" or "hot button" that are a safe place for media to go make some money. Sure they are a little spicy in that there will be disagreement, which is why bland mass-appeal programming avoids them like the plague. But they're perfectly safe topics. And then there are actual hot button issues. Topics that may even appear blander by comparison, but only because nobody is fucking touching them. Apple remembers what China did to the NBA.
