Asking the wrong questions leads to the wrong answers

I don't get it.

Why is everyone asking:

"Should XXX apologise [for spending his hard earned money and saved up leave on a meaningful holiday together with his family]"
(note: as opposed to spending it on a $1300+psf condo, BMW, branded handbag... as many Singaporeans were doing just a few months ago?)

and not:

"Should the editor of YYY apologise to the public for running insensitive articles about people spending money on leisure, given the current downturn"

Oh and YYY might as well apologise to XXX at the same time I guess.
