Oh, I certainly agree - except that I do not much like opinionated news at all. My only point is that there is room in a real newscast to get people from different opinions in a room and ask them questions, and have have a conversation with each other. I actually don't think it is too much to ask for all news on television to be honest, well-research and well-informed. If it is not those things it should not be allowed to use the term "news". NewsHour has its problems, but it certainly comes close to the mark most of the time. I am not optimistic King will come as close in his new show on CNN, but I hope he does. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
