But only because of the constant poll watching. Sometimes DU reacts too fast and forgets to let the facts work themselves out. The internet has it's definite value, but one of its shortcomings is that it's too instantaneous on things that need a little time to coalesce or form.

For the same reason I'm taking a break from all the TV pundits. They're just filling airspace with noise for the first day at least. People don't pay much attention to them in real life.

edited to change to to too.
