It explains the situation in a typical marketing framework.

When you have two sides of a debate you take "your" side and you 
canonize them.  They're the righteous warrior fighting for truth,

You take the "other" side.  They're the devil.  They'll kill your 
children.  They'll make you use Windows Vista.

And that's the 24 hour news cycle.
