It was a glorious few weeks there. The media shouting at officials, questioning responses, doing their jobs. Some of us had hoped it would never end, even after the floodwaters receeded.
Oh well.
It didn't take too long for reporters to stop asking tough questions like: "Is that true?" or "Are you shitting me?" Any story, no matter how controversial, has devolved back into merely quoting offical talking heads, never substantiating or even questioning the statements they parrot back to us.
Instead of simply telling us that the republican said these tax cuts or whatever will be good for the economy and that the democrat says they won't be, how about actually doing some research and tell us who's right? Don't just tell me "And activists disagree," then cut to a commercial. Are they right to disagree? Are both sides wrong? Are there other sides?
Can you even spell Google?
When did reporters go from the most cynical people in the country to the most trusting?
