Why covering the econ crisis is hard for CNN

A slightly tongue-in-cheek rebuke to CNN from Boing-Boing on why it is so difficult to cover the economic crisis going on.

Some of my favorite reasons:

• It's not a hurricane so Anderson Cooper of CNN is unable to position himself in the middle of the storm for optimal drama...
• Where are the winning and losing teams?
• I can almost hear producers wondering each night if there isn't a
  better story to lead with. "Isn't there a story we can do on Sarah
  Palin?"
• Why can't this be happening to Russia or China? CNN would send Christiane Amanpour there.
