Which has nothing to do with the topic, or their abilities as news guys, but it fits the tenor of the times.
And the topic.
Where members of congress were once lawyers who worked to find "work arounds" to laws and now want to create them knowing they will be selectively enforced and hoping to be of the same party as the executive branch. Never will these legislators take on the corruption and unfairness that's built into our legal system in which winning is preferred to justice. Rigged system? You bet. Look at where the truly ethical people finish in political races. They're so far behind the pack that the press has abandoned them as being dull and uninteresting.
of American politics was ending. Up to then, many Governors, Senators and Presidents had come up from State Legislatures. That's where they learned constructive compromise, civility to the other side, and being informed on the issues; all useful in running a Major World Power.
