> Given that there’s still a lack of belief of evolution in the general public (polls put it around 40-50% in US) it’s not surprising that it’s not more talked about in the media.
Lol - the intersection of people working in the media (especially mainstream media) and creationists is virtually the null set.
If 50% of your market is offended by it you won’t talk about it.
For media that caters to the other 50% it’s still a complex subject for media sound bites.
Also you don’t have to be a “creationist” to not believe, although I guess it depends on that definition. But creationist makes it sound like it’s a tiny minority extremist group. Year after year multiple studies put non belief of evolution at at least 40%. I can almost guarantee a significant percentage of the media are likewise skeptical or non believers of evolution (they may be rather reserved and personal about it, but still effect their judgement or assessment of reporting on the topic)
