I can! I said:
>well-produced content from a variety of perspectives that seeks to measurably increase understanding
I would argue that lots of the quality stuff out there is designed for consumption by an audience that's already really smart and well-informed, and doesn't increase what we can call "net understanding" by the whole of society.
What about targeting people who aren't already well informed? Fox News is great at this, only their goal is to help the Republican Party. What if someone did the same thing with the goal of making people smarter?
I know this isn't a new idea and sounds incredibly naive. I don't care. There's a need for this whether the demand is there or not.
