The polls and articles are actually revenue generating items... they make money, they don't spend it. No one's writing an article if there isn't revenue in it, page clicks or otherwise. It seems like your real issue here is that people are expending energy on this, not money. Which is tantamount to saying that people care about something you don't think they should care about... fair enough, but come on, since when is that news.
