Since the attack in London occurred - pretty much a total fizzle that gave a handful of people minor burns - the US media has covered it intensively. Meanwhile, assuming it was a typical day on American roads, about thirty people were killed by drunk drivers that same day. How much coverage has that gotten?
I'm obviously not anti-media like Trump is, but I do have my issues with those who deliver the news. Skewed media coverage has deluded most citizens into believing that terrorism is a more serious threat to our well-being than things like drunk driving or heart disease. This is a fabulous gift to the terrorists, whose real power to harm us pales in comparison to other threats.
Of course, citizens who let themselves be deluded are equally to blame. The relevant data is out there for anyone to see.

True! But some people like to remain ignorant while acting intellectually superior.

That should be "The relevant data are out there for anyone to see." The singular form is "datum."
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Many speakers of Standard English - including me - construe data as singular. If you do a Google search, you'll find style guides out there on both sides of the issue.
For instance, here's the definition at Merriam-Webster. Their two example sentences illustrate the use of data with singular and plural verb agreement:
the data is plentiful and easily available —H. A. Gleason, Jr.
comprehensive data on economic growth have been published —N. H. Jacoby
I also pasted their usage note below. (By the way, I'm not claiming that you won't find sources that agree with you; the note below states as much. I'm only pointing out that there's no definitive answer here.)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Is data singular or plural?
Data leads a life of its own quite independent of datum, of which it was originally the plural. It occurs in two constructions: as a plural noun (like earnings), taking a plural verb and plural modifiers (such as these, many, a few) but not cardinal numbers, and serving as a referent for plural pronouns (such as they, them); and as an abstract mass noun (like information), taking a singular verb and singular modifiers (such as this, much, little), and being referred to by a singular pronoun (it). Both constructions are standard. The plural construction is more common in print, evidently because the house style of several publishers mandates it.

I agree. Sadly, people think their religion is their identity. As long as they don't learn it's not, they will stay confused.
