Silverman talks about how viewers in the US are bombarded with nonsense masquerading as fact. In the US supernatural questions have all been explored by TV channels including History The Travel Channel and TLC (previously The Learning Channel). Despite their often ridiculous programs, these channels and others seem happy to present themselves as sources of non-fiction content, and seem to have no problem with the public regarding them as such. Telling apart sensationalized content from sensational content isn't always easy. Quebec, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Flemish Belgium and Greece all have various bans on television advertising aimed at children, as studies suggest they cannot differentiate between adverts and programming. A similar lack of critical thinking is arguably leading people of all ages to fail to distinguish science fiction from science fact.
