The editor of the Washington Post explains how journalism is supposed to work

Shorter Len Downie: If you're going to ask a bunch of sleazy and irrelevant questions, be smart and space 'em out a little:

I think they probably could have mixed it up a bit more over the course of the debate that you didn't have that apparent dominance int he first 45 minutes. At the same time, I would say the questions, particular that George Stephanopolous was criticized for asking, are clearly...are things that are on people's minds ...and he gave voice to them in his questions. It just appeared that it was all bunched up in one glog of questions before you got to larger issues.

Since when did "people" become synonymous with "people who listen to Sean Hannity"?
