^^^ The stuff people "should" hear is on PBS/NPR. The stuff people "want to" hear is on commercial media.
Honestly, at the end of a loooooong 11 hour day at the office, I'm much rather listen to Conway making sprinkler jokes and talking about idiots in high speed chases than have Suits telling me about all the problems in the world. I know the Suits show is technically "better" and more informative, but honestly --- I just want a laugh.
