Deep Thought

I don’t understand why the newspapers have lost the public’s respect.
Seriously, The Washington Post got to directly ask the president one question in prime time for the whole world to see at a time when that new president is comparing our economic situation to the Great Depression and asking for a spending package of nearly a trillion dollars. They didn’t want their question to be something of a bit more significance? I understand the desire for a lighthearted tone as well as the public’s frequent interest in the president’s commentary on matters that aren’t strictly political, but last night was neither the time nor the place for a baseball question from one of the country’s top daily newspapers.
