It's not so much a "hot" button, as much as it is a "bother" button for me (a red flag, perhaps?)... that (in the United States, at least) most of the messages we receive through the media are "brought to us by" an entity that has paid to have that message communicated. It's the nature of the beast, of course... we've all gotta get paid, right? However, the irritating part of it is that so many people neglect to digest a grain of salt with the messages they receive, forgetting that somebody on the other side of the medium is concerned primarily with the bottom line... and not the well-being of the consumer.
Oh, and if I never hear the name Anna Nicole Smith again, I will be just fine. Human interest... ugh.
