Is real government--say . . . health care reform--just too grown-up to be COVERED AT ALL on a medium as childish as television? Would grown men and women just get bored and change the channel,

even though health care and health insurance are literally matters of LIFE and DEATH and BANKRUPTCY???

I wish the news media (and this even includes public television, apparently) would do less reporting about the voters and more reporting about the candidates and the issues the candidates have taken stands on.

Are reporters just lazy?
