I don't know what it will take for the media to focus
on the actual problems instead of the mostly made up ones. I'll offer a partial defense of them: the opposition party hasn't made unemployment a major issue either. That's just a partial defense, as I don't think the media should only be taking their cues from what politicians want us to be talking about, but I imagine if Sarah Palin were tweeting about the unemployed they might start paying attention to it a bit more.
