The entertainment--or should I say "the amusement" (in the not thinking sense of the Greek)--is partly to blame, but part of the problem is also in the academic community. Academicians are rewarded for publishing, therefore there's a bias toward creating new theories--even if on shaky facts--to expound in those new books.
