Dear stuart-santiago,
I would be happy if “news hosts”, in interviewing witnesses and those who are being ascribed with wrongdoing, asked questions that elicited facts instead of repetitive denials and exhortations. No, i don’t require “news hosts” to take a stand; no, the problem is not the role of media in informing its audience because the show did not even meet that minimum; no, i don’t want reporters to try to sway the public in one direction; no, i don’t want reporters to tryto advocate anything; and no, skepticism is not a “cop-out”, i still expect journalists to doubt everything and not to readily believe anyone; and the method for that, for example, is a series of quick, follow-up questions to elicit specifics. Thanks for writing!
