Sorry, but that's a big pet peeve of mine. The media likes to be experts at how everyone else should do their job, but they can't be expected to have a mastery of the English language, let alone spell or type.
I personally believe that there needs to be an overhaul of the tax codes and minimum wage, but it can't fairly be done without a true assessment of the American peoples' priorities and sense of fairness. In any case, we can't rely on the "ruling class" (whether you define that as those in charge in government or corporations, as the "revolving door" mentality secures it for both) to govern or manage in the interests of all.
The media will never take on the "tough" issues facing Americans. They are gutless and they pander to their corporate masters. Anything that could really help this country by exposure, is dutifully over-looked or denied or categorized as to "wacky" to warrant investigation. Meanwhile the lemmings of the world continue to chew their curd and whey and prepare for slaughter. Nice, eh?
