You should. You should also take it for what it is, infotainment. I find reading an extreme viewpoint can be very informative after the alternative extreme is considered and skeptical comparisons are made. Finding the biases becomes easier, determining who is being more disingenuous is still tough. I must also be able to recognize & account for my bias/interest in the topic, as well.

Back on topic: I know corruption can exist in any institution and lobbyists with the biggest bag of donations tend to win the laws that make their spurious practices 'legal', but I'm quite satisfied the majority of ZH's predictions haven't come to fruition. There is no solace in large-scale failure of any systems. One thing is for sure, when one does happen, you can bet a large number of ZH commentors will invoke "I told you so!".
