This is to good journalism what the Ford Falcon or the Chevy Bel Air are to good cars. Sufficient for the task, but little more. These are the same simple answers to the same simple questions. What we're talking about here is something akin to the creation of Social Security or Medicare or the EPA or food stamps or welfare or...well you get the picture. This is a big, capital BIG deal. This is one of the most important issues in American legislative history, yet journalists act as if it is some piddling triviality not deserving of any real in-depth spelunking.There is much below the surface here that deserves to see the light of day.
