I'll ignore the hypocritical insult.

As for your question. I'm not a media product. Kizzy was speaking about the lack of balance in the media, not individual people. She told you this and you responded to the post so I don't really understand why you're still confused on the matter.

My opinions is that the vast majority of voters ARE uninformed and (like I said before but you ignored in favour of the 'I AM OFFENDED' tactic) the reasons why I believe that is because the dominant tactics in almost all of the recent elections are shallow and ultimately uninformative. Theresa May has been saying 'Strong and Stable' at every chance she's given because people respond to it in spite the fact that you don't need to look hard to see that her administration is anything but. They've demonised Jeremy Corbyn to the point that the uninformed believes him to be some sort of terrorist traitor because people don't bother to fact check. Tell the voting public what they want to hear and they will respond regardless of the facts. The same can be said for the previous two elections, the referendum, every US election ever and more.

Policies and hard facts aren't sexy. The public in general don't respond to anything that isn't a buzzword, headline or soundbite.
