We are turning quickly into a society where all forms of media cater to the lowest common denominator.

Well, that would describe the general audience.

Luckily we also live in a time where you can choose what you want to watch. There is a lot of independent channels that provide quality content via streaming. So the lowest common denominator only exists if you choose to go down that route. There is enough alternatives available that allow you to bypass all that without missing out.

Hey - if lucky maybe have some nature pictures with naked Fox News babes......

The National Geographic Society's magazine is something I grew up with and treasured during my childhood, but the bloom came off the rose abruptly when the United States started to take a serious interest in the Arctic Ocean, Canada's arctic islands and the "Northwest Passage" decades ago. The National Geographic published a map removing indications of Canadian sovereignty over areas that had traditionally been marked Canadian.

At that moment all the fun went out of it for me and I realized that the magazine was a tool of American Imperialism, and that was decades ago. I've never looked at them the same way since. What they did really hurt.

I still remember things like "New Guinea to Bali in Yankee" with warmth and affection, but no more embrace for National Geographic, a Presbyterian handshake will suffice thank you.

The Fox network does not support Creationism.

I ain't going to blame the companies running out of money, but, if people didn't have to be constantly working for money to survive we wouldn't have this issue. Heck NG would've just rerun some of their useful programs to our young children instead of constantly making pointless shows/magazines(like movies). We are slaves to money I tell ya.. I bet most of those NG writers could have end up teaching our new generation how to do photography and write English instead of forcing our kids to go through College or University. Life ain't what it used to be. Become an apprentice til your old enough or knowledgeable to work alone. Now it is pay to get work or don't pay and end up do nothing.
