What Reporters Fail to Report

Why do “intelligent” reporters continually miss (or ignore) the basic facts of a story?  The President “hits the road” to bolster his party’s chances in a forthcoming election.  At the same time, his Cabinet members travel to improvised “events” for the same purpose.  An “intelligent” reporter would note:  that Federal employees who are paid with Federal tax dollars are using their time, their resources, their staffs, and their office equipment, pursuing not the goals of the Executive Department to which they are assigned, but rather, are blatantly campaigning in support of one party’s candidates!  Want evidence?  Check the calendars of the Secretaries of Commerce, Interior, Labor, and every other Cabinet-level department.  An “intelligent” reporter would do that.  And an “intelligent” attorney would know what to do with that information.
