Why is there so much mental pollution being pumped out by schools and the media?

@Mikla to me so much of it is mindless noise that has no redeeming value..

@Mikla thanks the term just came to as I fled the stupidity that passes as news my wife watches all day

@ianR0ckwell You nailed it when you used the phrase "no redeeming value". Now I understand your question. I wish I had an answer because the cycle will go on and on and on. It's distressing, pitiful, and sad.
