It's a sad state of affairs that the only way to reach people is through sensationalist tripe.
And no, it's not that cold facts don't faze them- it's that they don't give a shit about anything until you appeal to their weaker, more stupid, emotional side. Then their emotions tell them this is something they must care about, and suddenly it's an issue. Emotions don't require logic, intelligence, or reason. That is why emotional appeals work even better on people who are stupid to begin with.
Take anything that people turn a blind eye to- they start caring when you take the issue and give them an emotional attachment. Before they're emotionally attached, they're just as selflshly "don't care about anything but me and mine" as most everyone else.
It seems like America is getting dumber and dumber. When will we wake up and realize that we're screwing over the future generations by giving them such a piss-poor education?
