News Expose

Have you ever noticed that nearly all of the media expose stories that appear on the telly and in publications are centered around alleged misdeeds in government organizations, or by the people who work in the public sector?

Corruption at (insert public agency here)!  See the story tonight!

How come misdeed stories are very seldom, if ever, centered around wrongdoing at stores and services from the private sector?  I'll bet there are more mistakes, and people in the private sector get away with more shenanigans, than all the public institutions. 

Just look at the car commercials - who has the time (or ability) to read the fine print or understand the disclaimers.  And, just try to get those deals we see on TV when it is negotiating time at the dealership.

Oh wait, the TV stations make thousands (if not millions) in advertising from the dealers - and the government agencies don't spend like that.

Well, now, there's that!

And, another thing -

"We'll show you tonight how your tax dollars are being spent!"

Don't the reporters pay any taxes?  Are they different that the rest of us?

Shouldn't the reporters in those promos say,

"We'll show you tonight how our tax dollars are being spent!"
