16. The "panels of experts"

Reply to progressoid (Reply #4)

Yesterday

have gotten awfully tedious. The best part of most of the programs is the opening segment, but after that, they bring on the "experts" or other journalists who basically regurgitate the same stories in their own words for the remainder of show.

There are times when additional information and insight can be helpful, but much of the time it is just space-fillers. I would prefer more news and less redundant opinions. I often watch just the opening segment and fast-forward through the rest.
