Great idea! The problem is that most of us who make up "the public" don't
have time to really understand much of what is going on in the world. The
news media have to focus on circulation and rating to keep their ad
revenues up. If you were to present such information it would have to be
in a form that required no prior knowledge of the cultures involved or anthro,
and would have to have a good heaping spoonful of sex and violence. If
you can do that you will have a winner.
