yes. all this very sloppy and very biased reporting makes it only that much more difficult to try to piece together what is really happening in a political landscape that is changing on a moment to moment basis but which is also partially obscured from public view.
the professionalism of journalism has fallen a few notches in the last 8 years. not that anyone would have believed it could fall much farther from its high perch back then.
