Harvard Law Professor vs. TV talking head.

I learned early on that when you are speaking to someone who is an expert on a topic you should shut your mouth and try to learn something.

And this response is also telling about uninformed people reading and listening to bsky... if shortened it's BS?

People actually believe talking heads on news asks their own questions? Never. It's either on the prompter or if on paper has gone through the producers and legal.
Never have I seen a production where the blabs are free wheeling. The blabs job is to look LIKE it's THEIR questions.

Another complaint is why these social sites don't make captioning mandatory. rupar is linking, so it may be on bsky itself. I do not want to hear nasal whiny bobberheads droning on during my morning coffee.
Not Elizabeth Warren, the anchors.

This exactly why MSM sucks. When the so called reporters don’t understand the topics they are covering they cant ask relevant and important questions. It is no longer news or reporting and becomes theater.
