Slavin thinks that next time, the big nets are likely to offer viewers convention coverage "significantly enhanced over what they received this year" specifically tailored to different viewers tastes.Why not just be objective for a change? No amount of money invested in "whizz-bang-ohmigod-wow!" technology will ever be a suitable substitute to unbiased reporting. If a reporter ever goes in the tank for any candidate, fire 'em. Make reporters earn their day's pay.

"If a reporter ever goes in the tank for any candidate, fire 'em. Make reporters earn their day's pay." It is a sad state of affairs, but if reporters, especially on the Washington beat, ever really do what they are supposed to do, they are called "investigative reporters." Most reporters today are in actuality "repeaters." They sometimes spend years developing sources in the ranks of Congressional staffers and politicians - and they dare not bite the hand that feeds them! So they dutifully take the tidbits they are fed and pass them along.
