Media-Crafted Controversy This is traditionally a bad season for our sensationalistic, controversy driven 24/7 noise machine known as the "news" media. It's mid-August, and Americans are trying to enjoy what's left of summer. We've unplugged for the summer, so media profits are sagging.  They respond by inventing stuff to get us back and basking in the glow of their corporate-sponsored cliffhangers. So PEW conducts a poll and a news-hungry media is all over it like a pack of rabid jihadis on a cartoonist. 18% of Americans believe President Obama is a Muslim! So what???
