And if we didn't report it, you all would be crying that the media are engaged in a conspiracy to cover up how the oil companies are screwing the American public. Give me a break.
No, we'd be crying just as we are now that the media outlets are engaged in a conspiracy to cover up how it is actually the politician's fault because they won't get out of the way for getting real solutions to the problems instead of telling us that we should just adjust our lifestyles and drive SMARTs and Hybrids. I understand that you might feel offended about this subject matter since you are apparently a person who works in the press, but you know just as well as we do that bad news sells better than good news and that if the press begins to plant envy and hate against a particular group that happens to be doing better than the rest of us, people will eat it up and will be begging for more. That is the business. I'm sure that not all people in the press are this way, but the fact of the matter is many of them have earned the reputation for extending the truth. After seeing them doing this so many times throughout my life, I just don't trust the press because they always take sides and many times distort the facts.
