Are you glad that all the bad news such as the joblessness level was not paid much attention to this week?

Question

With so much attention on the Brittney Spears & other ads about Obama being a rock star we missed the bad news & there was alot of it. Would you rather focus on this issues or focus on Obama being a popular leader? I think we need to look at what is really happening while Bush is still President. We can't ignore what is happening today or do you think denial is healthy?

Answer 1

I think the whole world has gone mad.

An eighth bank went under today and it rated a line or two.

The unemployment rate went up again, and its reported like its no big deal, except to the 51,000 more people than last week, the highest number in four years.

Last week a company announced an four billion dollar loss, and its stock went up.

It lost less than expected.

Yet I'm supposed to get all upset about a rap video or Paris Hilton?

I wonder if Bush is just going to call it in for the rest of the year and let the country travel on its road to h**l.  Lord knows hes put us on that road and hes not going to have to take responsibility for getting us out of it now.  

Hes on vacation...again...maybe this time he'll stay there

Answer 2

You're right.

If you want to get the attention of the News orgs. that are doing such a bad job. Write their advertisers and tell them why you will no longer watch that station!

Answer 3

This denial is not healthy but uneducated people continue to support and watch FOX NEWS so they have no idea how bad it is.

Answer 4

Yes, the news has been very bad for our President Bush. It is best for us to try to divert attention elsewhere, perhaps we can still attack Iran and cancel the elections.

Answer 5

I did notice also front pages on Yahoo dating from 2003 and beyond.

The front page  also does change quite often  on Yahoo as in a few minutes later a new page with a different feature is there. Like one time The Hulk Feature and another time a Christian Bale Feature.

Civic Currency helps with rest.

Answer 6

i think people get so wrapped up in the upcoming election, they forget that though bush has very little time left in office (woo hoo) he can still turn the US upside down. i have come to terms with the fact that more attention is going to be paid to the spears/obama comparison and lapels than obama's energy plan or mccain's views on affirmative action. i don't like the fact, but i've found a way to deal- internet.  

Answer 7

reminds me of Chicago "razzle dazzle them" sort of thing ... which is what the media is actually all about ...they're not a guiding light of truth from the darkness of deceit ... they are a business and care more about sales then informing people on what's important.

Answer 8

I guess you watch a lot of Fox news.  I heard plenty about it - as well as the cheap attack ads from the Republican Character Assassination machine.
