There was a sh*tstorm of bad news concerning shrub and his buddies (the pre 9-11 mindset) so the media, probably on cue, reported scary stuff until the harmful truth disappeared from the public's mind. Instead of folks thinking, "Wow, Enron and shrubs buddy Ken Lay just stole my retirement!" They were freaking out over the possibility of something "worse" happening, opening their mail and dying.
