I write to respond to a point you made about being increasingly frustrated with interviews of politicians, and in particular, with the inability of the media to ask the right questions. I will give you an example. During the June 22nd edition of Meet the Press, Senator Lindsay Graham was a guest, and he repeatedly blasted Barack Obama for turning down public funds for his election campaign, when Obama had previously stated that he would accept the funds.

However, later in the interview, Senator Graham admitted that he had changed his position on off shore oil drilling – he was previously against it, but now he is is in favor of it. When asked why, he said that "4.00/gallon gas prices changed my view on this."

Leaving aside the fact that off shore drilling will do nothing to lower gas prices, here was my frustration. Why did the interviewer let this go??? Why is it ok for Senator Graham to change his position on an issue, but it's not ok for Obama? It's amazing how we let people get away with criticizing others, when they display the same behavior themselves. As long as the media doesn't hold people accountable, this will continue to happen. If they would actually listen to their guests' answers, instead of waiting to ask their next question, it would help a great deal.
