Reply #27: The media will

ignore it as long as they can, don't you think?

They are not really addressing the problem right now, only the fact that people are upset about gas prices and how gas prices are to blame for everything else. (And while people were losing their homes they tried to divert our attention to special cases where we could be angry at the victims instead of those who brought it about .. and when people were drowning in New Orleans we heard about the looters ... and on and on)

I just feel like ranting tonight, not at you but at the stupid news - we have so many challenges and we deserve better than this "what X will have to do".

What we deserve is to know WHO caused it, WHO allowed it to happen and WHO profited from it.

Of course, they do let us know things like this:

In his opening remarks, the president blasted Congress for not addressing Americans' financial fears.
Bush said people are looking to leaders in Congress to take action, but "all they are getting is delay." http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/04/29/bush.economy/index.html
That was in March, he didn't waste much time blaming others.
