So these days whenever I turn on the news, everything is all focused on our economy. A surprisingly large portion of the news has been dedicated to playing the "blame game" where everyone is pointing their fingers at one corporate fat cat or another. But I'm getting tired of that. It feels as if we're looking for someone to shift the blame on (read: scapegoats) when we should be focusing more on real news and how we can fix our current situation. I'm sure the media is especially focused on executives like Madoff (and how much money he "made-off" with...haha...never mind...) because it's attracting viewers, but I'm sure there's more important things happening in the world then how big a bonus certain "fat cats" were giving themselves. What do you think?

Awareness is mostly a good thing, seeing as many Americans still lack it. But alittle change in programing would be nice too, the only problem is, media is a business. and as far as i remember, the loyalty of the business is always to the shareholders.
Of course these "fat cats" are going to give themselves the bigger bonus they are the ones running the thing part of me is still trying to grasp this whole bonus thing because its kind of new news to me for some reason but so far its not benefiting anyone but themselves.
