IMHO one of the biggest failings of the media for the last 50 years has been in the assumption that fundamental policy areas like antitrust (whether enforcement, or non-enforcement) isn't 'newsworthy'.
The prosperity our reactionaries keep on going on about (that of the 1950s and 60s) owes a lot of its existence to successful antitrust enforcement, and a lot of our dissatisfaction with otherwise-favorable economies today owes itself to un-checked monopoly behavior.
