Question of the weekend
Are you thrilled that Portugal beat England and France upset Brazil? Rooney is going to bet raked over the coals for this…
What do you want to see, but don’t think you’re going to get, from the upcoming campaign season in terms of cable news coverage?
How bout less of the analysis that goes on and on and on and on and on…

I am convinced that our journalists are passionate about their jobs and I expect all encompassing excellent coverage in the fall campaign. These guys are good.
But I will be disappointed if these reporters serve up slanted, biased reports, disguised as neutral coverage.
I hope they will hesitate to blend in their opinions when they bring us the stories.

Honest to God Spud, I do not want to see any of it.

I’m with Judy. I think journos have great intentions, but it just becomes nauseating in a short amount of time.

With politics, there are MANY angles to cover. MANY. And news organizations do a fairly good job of covering many of those. But it get’s tiresome, especially when they talk about a certian election years in advance.
I get really pumped for an election about a week or two before hand. Otherwise, it’s pretty much filler. (And some elections aren’t even that exciting, but election coverage is always a great show!)

Not focusing so much on POLLS!! Instead, just getting to the grassroots of the issues being covered. For instance, with the war in Iraq– talking to military families and experts, instead of just politicians or paid consultants.

That’s what we need on news channels, a great show. Why not just the facts and let us decide?

I don’t want to see any of it until about a week before elections even though I will.
