As it is now they don't do any investigative reporting anyway. They take the government news releases and report them verbatim. Oh, someone will call them up if they have an axe to grind and information will see the light of day that way but not because of any great effort on their part. It would be just as easy for the government to post the info on the web. Frankly, having watched how a lot of things are reported that I have witnessed for myself I think we would be better off for it to have the source material. These guys lie out their asses all day long and expect us to be grateful for it. I think indolence explains much their bias in favor of large government. It is simply easier to ask a functionary what is going on than to go out and find a story on their own. They get to be buddies with these guys and don't want to lose their "source" even though everything they are reporting is wrong.

Greetings,
It’s New York, only Trump and a few others fathom the depths.
Limbaugh moved out back in the 90′s, and he’s been audited every year since.
He works there during Hurricanes and such a couple of weeks a year.
With Patterson’s latest hikes, he’s really moving out now, studio and all.
Patterson said if he’d known that would be the result, he’d have raised taxes earlier!

One thing we were thankful for in California and Hawaii was a pretty laissez-faire situation wrt Homeschooling. Not one day spent in the indoctrination camps. “Almost as sad and frightening as the New York Times.”
