In regard to the current American political situation with its split between

Consider this -- what situation sells more advertising, a society fairly evenly divided and very polarized... v. anything else?
It is human nature to be greedy, but I think today's nearly 50/50 split and polarization are the result of that characteristic, not a predispensation toward polarization per se.
