Well not without changing the mentality of the people...individuals are smart while society on the whole is stupid...there are many people in this world that have never left the town or state they were born in those people don't care about world events, they care about fad diets, springer, what some jackoff backwater anchorman found in the kitchen at the local Red Olive Robin Lobster Bees not about what is happening around the globe. Also you don't need a PhD to know how to properly read the news just look at multiple sources and compare national vs international it's pretty simple really.
