How did we get to this point?

It's all about how companies won't admit mistakes in billion dollar industries and how they have a way out when interest groups carefully frame issues to create targeted attacks. When groups do this they frame a single issue and tell certain companies or governments that the issue must be solved. The companies point out that there are many factors and their part in it can't be blamed.

This is a side effect of trying to point out specifics in the media arena. Perhaps the groups should have considered how to address the issues as a whole rather than try to hard hitting on one point at a time.
