I listen to the Sunday talk shows and I never hear the journalists who interview major political figures ask either of two simple questions.
They never ask, concerning matters of fact: “Would you be willing to say that under oath?”
They never ask, concerning matters of opinion, “How much of your own money would you be willing to bet on that?”
I think these two simple questions, once asked, would quickly provide the American public with more insight into the political process, as the public would then observe that no one would remain willing to be interviewed on Sunday morning.
