Meet the Press
It's too bad you don't know what "Beltway journalism" is -- you practice it all the time. It's characterized by an overabundance of self-esteem (also known as arrogance and in many cases narcissism) and a deplorable lack of incite, responsibility, and perspective. That's why non-issues are pumped up as earth-shaking crises, and real crises are ignored or trivialized. It would be great if you were chosen for Tim Russert's spot on Meet the Press. That would get you off PBS and onto commercial television where I would never see you again.
