Yep and this is why corporate media is shyt.
But now that I think about it, I don't know if blaming the media is an excuse anymore. The internet is out there and if harnessed correctly, you can make stuff go viral easily. Its just that we have all these old toads in government who are probably used to how media usually operates before the explosion of social media and the internet in general and do not know how to use it effectively to get out there. This was evident during the election I think where it seems like the Right in this country have figured out how to use the internet effectively to get a collective message out. The left, is falling behind.
I'm just spit balling, but one idea is that every sitting senator and house member of the Democratic party (by the way this is assuming that this isn't negligence because they are corporate stooges) can record a video for youtube, facebook, and twitter saying how they are going to fight this, and at the same time construct legislation to fix this issue. That is just one idea off the top of my head. Trust it would get picked up by every political blog and several websites quickly and spread. It would build momentum.
