As a journalist at small town American newspapers, I can identify this: today's "reporters" are NOT journalists. They are glorified public relations reps, that's it. Huge difference: Journalists are supposed to be 100% objective when covering the subject matter. So technically, it shouldn't matter if a journalist who personally identifies as Liberal is assigned to cover a Conservative based event. The reporter is to NEVER personally get involved in, or spin/skew the coverage in any way.
That's the media we had before ads were sold on page A1, and before "infotainment " shows like Inside Edition started on TV. The broadcast media "reporters" all turned into a bunch of empty, talking heads, who just read a monitor and parrot back whatever it says.
In the previous world of real journalists, they often struggled with covering financial hard news, because their liberal studies degrees did not include any financial classes. I fear college students today are even more dumbed down, because the elite Powers that Be want to be able to indirectly influence and control the media as much as possible. Previously, federal law prohibited an owner of a broadcast news station to also own a print media/newspaper. Now, only a few companies own also all media in America, a huge mistake.
Today's "reporters" are all about making themselves famous, and mistakenly believe the general public gives a damn about their opinions. We truly are living in a Cult of Personality.

There's several other aspects of the Amish community that were skipped: alcohol, drugs, tobacco are forbidden. There is a strict hierarchy within the family clan, so there's no argument over who gets what. Like it or not, husbands are automatically the head of the household and make the decisions, so there's no question of authority. Good or bad, divorce is not considered an option. Whether or not you agree, they have a strong Faith and look to the Bible Scriptures for their emotional strength. Every Sunday they have worship service in a clan member's home, everyone travels to be there. Every person, even the younger children, are given tasks to do, which instills a strong work ethic.

Why was Luke and Laura such a cultural hit? Simple...
Luke was NOT the most handsome man - he was sort of a (pre-Michael Boulton hair ) geek. But a NICE guy, an emotional support to Laura, which is what really attracts women. So his "sensitive side" made him HOT and attracted the women. Then there were male watchers who knew Laura was way "too pretty" for the geek to get in real life, so those viewers lived vicariously through him. Is the Nice Guy finally going to finish first? Maybe there's hope for the viewers? Or is the soap opera going to turn real and Nice Guy gets dumped by Crazy Bitch, which the viewers can identify with?
Then there's the constant drama - back and forth - the original "we were on a break". The wedding was actually a let down, lol
Many other soaps followed suit. The best example is Bo and Hope from Days of Our Lives, also in the 80s. By the time that plot ran its course, I was willing to kill both of them myself! And Victor and (Nikki ?) On Young and the Restless, Kelly and (?) On Bold and the Beautiful, etc. I never became fan to any particular show, but had college roommates who structured their class schedule around their soap operas (too broke to afford a VCR)...
