MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE CRISIS
BY RON POWELL
THE ECONOMIC SITUATION WE ARE STRUGGLING WITH HAS TO DO WITH DEREGULATION AND LACK OF OVERSIGHT WHICH CAUSED AN UNFETTERED FEEDING FRENZY ON WALL STREET. AS A RESULT OF UNCONTROLLED GREED, AND INDIFFERENCE, AND THE ABSOLUTE LACK OF MEANINGFUL ACCOUNTABILTY, THE AVERAGE PERSON HAS BEEN EATEN ALIVE BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO INSULATE THEMSELVES FROM THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR DECISIONS AND THEIR ACTIONS.
WHY ISN'T MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE SITUATION MORE FOCUSED ON THE INDIVIDUALS WHO CAUSED THE ECONOMIC MALAISE? THEY TREAT THE ECONOMY AS THOUGH THEY'RE READING FROM A TEXT BOOK AND NOT ENGAGING THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE GOVERNMENT AND IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR WHO WERE DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAS AND IS HAPPENING.
THEY NEED TO STOP TALKING ABOUT NUMBERS AND START TALKING TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BENEFITED FROM, AND THEREFOR SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR, THIS SITUATION.
