I disagree, and this is where I think blogs have been particularly helpful. While the nature of broadcasting limits depth, blogs have no such restriction. Some of them are quite in-depth in their analysis, which is why I think your blanket statement is so poor. Newspapers are better in this regard, but are still subject to space requirements that blogs are not.
I don't know why you've sunk your pit bull teeth into candidates' white papers. While they are a fine source for what the candidate thinks, whatever analysis they contain are entirely subjective--certainly no better than any random blog. |
