Generally speaking, the mainstream media do whatever is possible to hide away serious politics and social issues under a veil of entertainment, voyeurism, or pornography. Whatever serious issue is at take is dumbed down until it's completely harmless. Healthcare. Gun violence. Plutocracy. Corruption. The death or democracy and rise of a new feudalism. Imperialism and endless war. Climate change and fossil fuel industry. All of the details of these are turned into entertaining stories, preventing people from going to the pitchforks.
You know the famous Henry Ford quote: "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
