Ever notice that when congress makes a bill that many would not like, that you are directed somewhere else?

take for instance, the current bill going through congress, its recieving alot of flak from people, and this morning we are focusing on another part of the world, and more than likely the news will never focus on it again, its happening every single time the country focuses on congress or the president in a seminegative light, that something else just magically becomes more important. when will we wake up and smell the roses?
