Why? I used to watch C-Span because it was often educational. Now everyone is just campaigning, 24/7. Congress isn’t asking questions. They are making statements in the (sometimes) format of a question which is often just “do you agree

Gary Marcus is having his moment in the sun, but the title tells all. “Be afraid” is just stripped down click-bait. “Isn’t entirely candid” is the smoking gun of this article, which is frankly an absurd standard in today’s political environ
