“Might be unseemly if they ignore it and the masses hear about it anyway”
Chances are at this point the masses are too busy EXPERIENCING IT to bother reading about it. They are experiencing what the press is ignoring, or writing about. Surely all who are losing their jobs and homes are pretty much more than aware of what is going on and whose fault it is.
I wouldn’t bet too much on that.
I talk to plenty of people that blame all of the economic problems on Bush and the Wall Street bankers.
They think Obama was saddled with a worsening economy left to him by Bush.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
