Because they are usually the winners when eyes are glued.. At least with hurricanes, when media goes ape shyt, the storms come and go....with this shyt, shyt can go for months possibly.. We don't have anyone trust worthy in the white house to at least alleviate the panic either..it has to start the with media doing fair and balanced reporting. They are creating headlines that only intensify peoples fears instead of calming people down. People are recovering, but I have yet to see that reported in mainstream media.
