There are a lot of idiots in local news. And a lot in national news.

Every time a reporter or news reader says, Pres. Bush believes, or Joe
Biden is angry, they show they don't understand how news is supposed
to work.

They are vouching for the sincerity of the person's words or even his
body language. No one knows what anyone else believes, and certainly
not a politician.

The only thing they should say is "So-and-so said". If they get the
quote right, that is a fact and not the reporter's personal opinion.

The worst one was last month. I don't recall if it was Time or
Newsweek that had an issue on global warming. They had a list of
things you could do to reduce greenhouse gases. One was to raise
organic COTTON on sheep.
