according to our grand nation's laws, noone can plead ignorance in defense to a crime. ie- "i did not know she was only 16!" if a gas station attendant sells beer to a minor, not only is the clerk responsible, but also the minor.... granted, the clerk will most likely get a stiffer punishment, but the minor will still be punished.
But people will always rely on the "corporate" (ie- reputable) media to confirm the information. and though they may deny it, the corporate world has one bottom line: making money... this means that they are willing to simply entertain the masses if it will sell commercial spots.
