today we have commentators like Todd or Biff or Skip or Shelly.
They are preening MC's who make declarations like "Why has Obama never discussed race...we'll be right back with more after this important message". They actually see themselves as valuable announcers and gatekeepers of truth and justice who do as they are told to maintain a successful TV career.

When they encounter a real NEWSperson, they look condescendingly at them and and allude to them being the losers in the media spotlight. Todd is all ego. These moderators today are not journalists but ineleoquent spin hucksters reading editors copy off a prompter who do not even realize that they are empty of the value of being a human being first and an elequent messenger second.

Danial wrote his own copy. You could feel the human being behind and inside the words.

or am i too harsh on the whipersnappers?
