Do you really think you are the only FReeper to have read the Constitution?
You say you have, recently, but why did it take so long for you to do so?
Do you really believe that is the function of ANY broadcaster to conduct video courses on ANY subject?
News networks are not substitutes for an education, nor do they purport to be.
Grow up.
Of course other FReepers know the Constitution and its history. But when any Freeper makes statements which lead me to question if they possibly don't understand that the Founding States made the Constitution to deliberately limit (cripple) the federal government's powers, then I generally don't give them the benefit of the doubt and speak up.

I've been independently studying the Constitution and its history for the last 10 years. Unfortunately, everything that I was taught before that in public schools was evidently based more on rumors and gossip than on the Founders' ideas.

All broadcasters must compete against each other in an ongoing contest to be able to brag the highest viewer ratings in order to keep winning top advertising dollars. So broadcasters must arguably turn every issue, even unconstitutionally big federal government, into an unresolvable soap opera in order to keep viewers glued to their TV screens between highly profitable commercials.
That said, if Obama guard dog Fx News was to actually start enlightening Constitution-ignorant voters about Congress's constitutionally limited powers, then voters, even Obama supporters, could possibly wipe corruption out of DC in 2014. And if that happened then broadcasters would have the challenge of deciding which issue potentially best divides public opinion in order to keep viewers glued to their TV screens between commercials.

Even if you find public and private schools that still teach the "Constitution," they are probably not teaching the Constitution as the Founding States had intended for it to be understood as I can testify.
Unfortunately, broadcasters seem to have more credibilility than Bible-based Christian churches these days concerning resolving social issues. And broadcasters seem quite willing to exploit this situation in the name of maximizing advertising revenues.
Fx News commentators, for example, are exploiting differences of opinion concerning the federal budget, seemingly trying to appeal to Constitution-ignorant conservatives by spinning the unconstitutionally big federal budget merely as a matter of prudence as opposed to getting voters up to speed on Congress's constitutionally limited power to tax and spend.
