Not important

As we move closer to the election it is interesting to note what are not considered important issues. This year the interest on the debt crossed the one trillion dollar line and now surpasses defense spending. It is obvious that the national debt is no longer a concern of those in the press since they have asked no questions. Both sides have increased coal, oil and natural to maximum outputs which means the most existential threat to the world, climate change, is no longer worth mentioning. It means the four dollar gas is now a bigger threat. It is well known that the press thrives on controversy and since both sided are aligned on these two issues there is no interest. The press is not concerned on how these issues many effect the country but only in the fact that they are not controversial.
