Correct..it's all about sound bytes and 10 second attention spans. Be controversial, to justify their few minutes in the chair they can't be bland nor do they have the time.

Reflecting, we should take it with a grain of salt, consider the source and lump them into the fanboy category that we as officials have to deal with continually.
