Why media silence?

The silence coming from the American media is deafening in regards to the investigation of Barclays Bank and others around the world. Apparently banks have been rigging interest rates for years and much damage has been done to the world’s financial sector and the public, but we are only now hearing about it – at least those of us who read the British press.

One can’t help but wonder just how deep mismanagement of the financial sector runs and why have politicians and the media been so silent?

It is very sad that unless there is an angle involving violence, sex, race, or civil rights, the media simply has no interest in informing the public.
