Just heard this little tid bit about how the press covers politics...

2. All it costs to have a talking head give his opinion is his salary, a newsroom costs real money.

We do not have news programing anymore, what we have is talking heads giving their opinion of some headlined event, as if we were unable to draw opinions of our own were we to be given the facts. Of course there is no indication that the talking head has any facts, despite their constant movement around the globe to try to give the impression that they are on the scene and should be aware of events.

In truth is is the decision of the newspapers and the TV newsrooms to cut cost to the minimum that cost us any chance of hearing factual reporting, to have facts you have to have people on the ground gathering them and them a support (editing) staff to sort them out. Now days there is neither.
