The old guard is fading. More and more we're stuck with "news reporters" who stick two operatives on a split screen and let each speed through talking points. Meanwhile the reporter seems unwilling or incapable of interrupting or otherwise taking charge as the operatives over-talk each other.
I miss news people who came up through the ranks, developed contacts, could cut through the BS, put together a coherent story, and speak with authority. So sad.
