while you are ulitmately correct, the medial does play a part in how those who represent us vote.
In this day and age the only way to get the rest of the people outside of TYT to call their Congress critters is to reach them via the TV machine with the factual information, because IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ON TV -THEN IT DIDN'T REALLY HAPPEN.

More with NPR I think (none / 0)

Although I guess I'm thinking of Goodman/Moyers since I don't watch Newshour on PBS. I used to watch McLaughlin Group but Clift (and often McLaughlin himself) were the only ones I liked.

Then again Monica Crowley made for a nice background.
