'This is health care moonshot time': Pandemic pulls Biden, Dems further left

25. I'm not criticizing you and I realize that you are merely another poster on this site.

If I have a beef, it is the characteristics of what constitutes "great reporting."

I distinguish between reporting and editorializing because of my prior experience working in journalism--even if it was only at the college level. Great reporting usually requires objectivity by the writer with an absence or minimal amount of bias or advocacy.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much happening on a small university campus so there were only two or three "great" reports each year (e.g., when Phil Gramm ran for senator and he came for a speaking engagement on campus) and that was at a liberal arts university that included a lot of very talented writers. Gramm came to campus in 1986 when Sen. John Tower left the Senate and he thought it would be a picnic since Tower was a Southwestern Univ. alum. The students gave Phil Gramm a very lukewarm reception where he was peppered with difficult questions and he never visited again.
