Beat reporters on Capitol Hill may indeed do a good job.

It’s the fact that their editors will only approve that which fits their political narrative that’s the problem.

so I thought perhaps there was some truth to this article. News can now be easily broadcast live through a simple smart phone. So efficiency and timeliness has improved greatly in 20 years.

But then I read the tired old line: “Stephen Bannon, until recently the executive chairman of Breitbart—a right-wing fringe website with a penchant for conspiracy theories and anti-Semitic tropes”

Can’t pen a piece without the anti-Trump slurs.
