My Time in the Balance of Power

It was short and sweet... and I'll take it.

Canton, Ohio: Hey coolest people in politics,

The time that we collectively get into the meat of the health care debate and the President's New Orleans visit, we are rudely interrupted by "Bubble Boy."

Although it was a technically newsworthy story, it surely wasn't a "drop everything you're doing and observe" feature. In addition, the overall coverage/reporting was spotty at best, and has turned CNN into Entertainment Tonight.

Do you think the journalism industry is getting the hint that it needs to work on its due diligence or is this the type of reporting we should expect going forward?

Ana Marie Cox: This is the type of reporting we should expect going forward.

Tucker Carlson: I agree of course, though it'd be a big help if viewers would refuse to watch garbage on TV.
