Media bashing redux

In an article via the BBC News entitled Why do people often vote against their own interests?, an interesting tid-bit apears:

“If people vote against their own interests, it is not because they do not understand what is in their interest or have not yet had it properly explained to them. They do it because they resent having their interests decided for them by politicians who think they know best. There is nothing voters hate more than having things explained to them as though they were idiots.”

Interesting because the BBC nailed a phenomenon our erudite U.S. media either can’t or won’t grok. The real question should be – Why do people bother with new media aimed at 2nd graders?
