The sheep-people don't think for themselves anymore. You can say anything and it's the gospel truth and they don't have to go research it or anything and they believe everything the news tells them. People don't go and do their own investigations if it's relationships or politics or anything.
I believe there's too little patience and context to many of the investigations I read or see on television.
I'm not famous for my back story investigations I'm lucky that I work with good writers and it's usually in the script.
