So my wife is watching this in the background, and two thoughts that come to mind:
1) Neither Jon or Kate seems all that intelligent (especially Jon - he kind of sounds like a high schooler). I mean, I understand Kate was a nurse, which would lead one to believe she has some sort of intelligence. But, neither of them seems like they're the brightest bulbs on earth.
2) I think the lack of intelligence, especially on Jon's part, probably accounts for a lot of these issues with the media. If they were smarter or more media-savvy, maybe they wouldn't create as many issues for themselves. At least a couple of times they said things that, if phrased more carefully, wouldn't have sounded so odd.
