Copenhagen principle of moral entanglement in action: regardless of cause and effect, the most powerful actor that is somehow entangled in a situation is called the one responsible by the media.

It makes logical sense to direct efforts towards change at a body that is powerful enough to enact change.

There is usually a confusion of practical and moral responsibility, of course. Moral responsibility is a heuristic based on evolutionary incentives, that sometimes is and sometimes isn't useful for enacting change.
