Pseudo-Science

Can someone please tell me why the history channel and the discovery channel continue to pollute the world with pseudo-scientific claims and programs?

Currently, the History Channel is "investigating" UFOs and USOs (Unidentified Submerged Objects). Their "evidence" is nothing but "eye-witness" accounts. Any moron in the world who wants to be on TV can claim they saw something "they'd never seen before." Are you kidding?! These people say they saw a light in the sky. Later 2 college students said they were experimenting with weather balloons and thats what people had seen. However, all these eye-witnesses refuse to accept that as an answer.. for some reason, in their minds, its more probable that these lights were from extraterrestrials, than weather balloons... Seriously?

Not too long ago the Discovery Channel did a whole program on Mayan Prophesies about the end of the world. A whole fucking program on how the world will end in 2012.

This isn't science. I'm disgusted with the lack of science and math education in our schools today, the lack of science and math knowledge present in our adult culture, and with the surplus of pseudo-science in popular culture.
