TALKING TO EACH OTHER
I don't know how the spin meisters on the cable networks will feature it, but last night's News Hour segment shows the true value of real journalism. They featured an in-depth (or, at any rate, in-depth for television) account of the meeting between Obama and the GOP. I'm not sure that they "went at it" but the really important thing was that each side was actually talking TO (not AT) each other. I thought both sides acted responsibly and were reasonably courteous while still expressing their viewpoints. Each came out a winner. Now, if we could only get that translated into "Realpolitik".
