Actually, that is a very good example of why it is difficult to trust ‘news’ people with deciding what is ‘news.’ In every field - history and climatology pop into my mind, not to mention economics or simple math! - the uninformed are either commenting or reading a telepromter written by someone even younger, with even less actual knowledge.

So true.

Many of the talkingheads, hosts, commentators are more interested at running their mouths than in hearing what they actually say.

Frequently, they will make comments that are shallow or just factually wrong, and go on with their spiel.

At least, now, with the Internet, they get bombarded with emails when they do screw up. So, at least they know we are watching, and listening.

Actually, it's quite unbelievable. Last night, Jane Hall, who does not have the excuse of youth, opined that it was about time that the federal government started getting involved with the auto industry and making them produce cars that people wanted to buy. Is that not the most upside down thing ever? Where has the women been? The federal government has had its paws all over the auto industry for decades. How does she not know this?

And consider how amazing her acceptance and advancement of the notion that the industry should be run from DC. It's mind boggling.
