Why America Is Failing – ‘Cable News Obsessively Covers Cuts To White House Tours, Virtually Ignores Cuts To Programs For The Poor’

‘The media has also latched on to preserve the White House
tours, while largely ignoring other much more devastating
sequester cuts’.

‘As Ari Melber of The Nation pointed out on Wednesday, there
are 12,000 news stories concerning White House tours and less
than 1,000 about the sequester’s impact on housing assistance
programs, which disproportionately affect low-income
Americans’.

      Bloggers aren’t mainstream media – supposedly ‘informing’ us and influencing us.
      Besides everyone knows your post are a whole lot of tongue in cheek and that’s why we read them.
