New Hampshire Primary 2012 – Mainstream press focusing on everything except economy.

I don’t really have a horse in this race but watching the mainstream press cover the current election is like watching an exercise of avoiding the most important. The economy is obviously the most important item for most Americans right now. All other issues take a major back seat. Today reports were coming out highlighting every other storyline except the reality that things are still very bad for most Americans. They never mention that 1 out of 6 Americans are on food stamps and many others are underemployed. Many are landing jobs but in lower paying fields. A big hit when household income drops from say $70,000 a year to $30,000. This takes a big hit to the wallets of Americans. Yet most of the New Hampshire Primary has been a sideshow to what is most important. What can you expect from a press that has failed to analyze why the middle class has been stripped bare?
