It's sad, but I'm willing to bet that these sorts of "news-entertainment" clips
are compiled to present the point of view desired.

I recall a number of years ago, along with my fellow Graduate T.A.s giving "goofy" fun historical or geography survey's to undergraduates in the wake of some news article that whatever percentage of University students didn't know "X". At an institution of which I'm proud to be an alumnus, but which no one is going to immediately name in a list such as Oxford, Harvard, Cambridge, Yale "our university." We found that our students always did extremely well on such quizzes and as a matter of fact rather thought we were giving them either a good ego boost or leading them into complacency for asking such obvious (non-graded) questions. I have no reason to doubt the results of such polls, but quite where they find those who take them I don't know.
