>> it isn't a conspiracy from any one person, it is the desire of the viewing and paying public.
A conspiracy involves more than one person by definition... but you can't blame the viewing or reading public for the Digger or other tabloid media. You can blame them for watching and reading the stuff, calculated to appeal to their lower instincts, but they can't be blamed for the stuff itself, produced by skilled, often cynical people and very narrow in range.
Sky News isn't too bad in this country being kept honest by the beeb and the other mainstream channels which have old-fashioned values. But have you taken a look at Fox? Takes you by the scruff of the neck and forces you to be a drooling moron. Most unpleasant.
