Everything is about tactics and manuevering and what the liberals say about the conservatives and vice versa.

2. Actual information just isn't as interesting as gut feelings
I do wonder if there's a modern day version of IF Stone's Weekly Reader though.

Even though Stone had an ideology his work was based on pouring over boring old government documents and gleaning essential facts from them.
