It could be for a number of reasons, it depends on the context. It could be for entertainment, desperately trying to show self worth, ignorance, etc.

Yeah, sorry. Should've been a little more specific. I guess I was meaning the mainstream media - things like with the recent Greece default issue. I have heard so many people blaming the Greeks for their predicament because they are greedy, selfish and lazy just because that is the general narrative being churned out by the recognised press. Either that or the polar opposite which is everyone else in the Eurozone is greedy, selfish yet hard-working. It seems to me as if people can't really be bothered to ask 'Why would this be the story that we are being fed?' nowadays. Maybe it's an educational problem because I remember my mother always telling me to ask questions and look deeper which really pissed my teachers off at school as well as many other life aquaintances I've met outside of that particular institution.

I think there are actually a lot more people that are aware and privately question things but socially close up just to fit in. And there are the others that are counciously or non ignorant.
