I will offer this observation. You start envision this group of forum members not as journalists....but as 20-year old university students on some political ‘upper’ and in no fashion capable of acting as an independent journalist.
I think our real problem in America today is that a vast number of journalists think of themselves as journalists...but they are merely agents of political thought and discussion. I would even challenge ABC, NBC, and CBS to attempt to go seven days without mentioning or using a single member of congress or the senate as a ‘back-drop’...I don’t think they can.
Think back to 1971...the only political figures you ever saw throughout the entire week...were on Face The Nation. We’ve actually been able to memorize over sixty political figures from DC...like they were members of some wrestling alliance.
We’re the politician failed to realize they work for the people so goes the media who are suppose to be our eyes and ears. Everyone wants to be accepted at the big table at any cost.
