A Microcosm of a Bigger Divide
Here's a great example of television execs being duped into the same trap as mass marketers,
24 hour news commentators, and online magazines.
The myth continues that half of America wants softball, James Dobson-friendly fluff, while the other half wants gratuitous trash or pro-alternative lifestyle commentary.
The truth is, these people have begun to believe an over-generalized lie of their own creation. Americans aren't as stupid as these people pretend.
That's why quality content, character development, and production will always trump over-editorialized crap at both ends of the spectrum.
