You are probably too young, but back in my day….. ;-)<br>

Does anybody remember the Vietnam era? Back then we had real
investigative reporting, reporters who asked unscripted questions at news
conferences, who were willing to get dirty in situations that didn’t make
for good photo ops. It was that kind of journalism that turned the tide
of public opinion against that ungodly war and got us out of there. They
don’t make ‘em (reporters) like that anymore. <br>

Listen to the testimony presented before the<br>
Congressional committee <br><br>
<br>
Usually, people who are too buzy working cannot
find the time to investigate hours long Congressional hearings. Therefore
their's is an uneducated vote on election day.<br><br>
Its easy and less time consuming to just
turn on Dan Rathers and let him "report" it in a little, few
minute clip that passes by the TV screeen so fast, that theres no
substantial information for a viewer come away with. That way, the
viewer, (who has to get to bed to get up for work OR has kids to pick up
from volley ball and or other chores they cant do while at work)
can get on with their life.<br><br>
Major network news is anemic. It leaves me with
more questions than answers. The answers take <u>time and
investigation</u> from ALL news sources and books. People just dont have
the time to read or watch long hearings. Not only that, their minds are
on paying bills, how their young'ns are doing with school/social
upbringings and, home repairs, auto maintenece/worries.....etc. How could
they have their thoughts geared on what the government is doing?
