I saw an article in the LA Times Calendar section (the entertainment section) yesterday about TV covering the Enron affair.
There was a big discussion about how to cover it. The executives don't think people give a hoot about how Enron was able to hide their losses. You hit the nail on the head about emotions. The most emotional angle they could find is the stories of the people who lost money. So be prepared for a couple TV Movies of the Week on Suzie and Billy loosing their 401K.

Emotion Pimps" as they sell emotions for money - usually without regard for those from whom they extract the emotions or for whom they may damage to be first to 'market'.
