Talking Heads

For a good part of my life, I watched the Sunday talking head shows, but stopped viewing most of them a few months ago because they seem overly concerned with process instead of substance.

Partly this must be related to the herd mentality in DC among the pundits and pols. What these folks don't get is that many more Americans are actually concerned about the issues, not the sausage-making processes in DC. I really don't care which presidential candidate is up or down in the polls; I do care about their positions, and the Washington press corps ought to spend more time probing the actual policy positions of the candidates than the "horse race" of the nomination process.
