Burning Down the House
Because of the recent failure to vote for the bailout plan, the media is going to be finding many causes for the problem. Also, because of the election many people are going to be putting democrats against republicans in an effort to cast blame away from themselves. For example “Burning Down The House” blames the democrats even though it is a problem the entire country has to deal with. This video shows lots of charts, graphs and has a soundtrack which sort of distracted me from what it was trying to explain. I think its a good idea to create something simple for those who didn't follow closely the economic decline of our country but I also feel like the media should try to produce an un-biased account of what really happened so the country can know all the facts instead of hearing news stories here and there about the bailout plan all of the sudden.

Actually, there are a lot of news outlets that are picking up on that exact idea. They realize that a lot of people aren't in tuned with today's news, so they they give it a 'news for dummies' twist. Sounds like a good idea to me.
I do agree on making facts and statistics simple for everyone to understand, but I also agree with the fact that they should have information from different points of views. They should not blame just one group for the economic situation. They should give all accounts of what has happened.
