Unfortunately she's doing her job, It's just for the wrong people.

Oh, and the irony of her statement about the public getting 10 or so billion dollars out of the bailout, well.... guess who paid for the bailout? Right, the public, so that means the public didn't make any money at all from the bailout, they just lost slightly less than the full amount (if her statement is true) in addition to the ten million or so jobs lost since the last unemployment peak around 2004.

Having said that, arguing over a few billion is just semantics at this point, the bigger issue is the corporate money in politics, the immoral wars, the unchecked destruction of the environment and food supply and the powerlessness of the average person in the larger political climate.

One of the most important changes that needs to happen now (in relation to this topic) is for the average person to start looking for real content in news programming, rather than watching it to be entertained by a handsome/pretty looking anchor with bells and whistles scrolling across the screen.

I wouldn't completely dump on CNN only because I saw Anderson Cooper interview a T-Party woman and really got on her ass when she tried to suggest it was just a bunch of drug addicts and lazy people with no real agenda gathering and breaking the law.

Course Anderson Cooper is one of the 'cool' 24 hour news person in the world. He's amongst the last of a dying breed of reporters who actually challenge the crap that spills out of their guests mouths.

CNN will be so shocked when October 15th rolls around that they will overlook reporting on it. Seriously.
