"The anniversary of Lehman Brothers’ collapse has been an excuse for politicians from President Obama downwards to voice their platitudes in broadcast and print.
The media have dutifully spun the anniversary into fake significance – fake because their coverage has successfully avoided any mention of the real economy.
The media have dutifully spun the anniversary into fake significance – fake because their coverage has successfully avoided any mention of the real economy.
BBC World’s coverage at 1200 GMT Tuesday September 15, 2009 started with an interview with one Singaporean MP, followed by a UK government adviser saying the economy may be recovering. Nothing about the real economy. Not one interview with a real person reflecting the job losses and pay cuts, no lives from real businesses – amazingly, not one reporter actually among real crowds on the streets. Safe from any real life experience, any comments shouted into a microphone, any protests."
