What is wrong with modern journalism's heavy reliance on pundits and talking
heads? We turn on the TV, we see numerous interviews and various
"experts" representing various special interest groups, attempting to
dominate the conversation with their nonstop jibber-jabbering? We may not be
aware that some of them are paid to appear on TV to advocate for some
organizations/super PACS. Should the news media cut short their feeding
frenzy and focus their cameras on us, the people, and let us inform them?
In America, we are used to thinking of our media as an
amazing fact machine that keeps us intelligent and informed. But now imagine,
one day, we, the people, will ask the media to shut up and let us inform them! How
awesome would that be! Do you agree with me? Explain your views on this
issue.
