Turned off NPR this afternoon because I am sick to death of the cliched, both-sides genre Let’s Talk to Voters in Swing States. This particular report (on Here and Now) was trying to be original by talking to swing-state voters considering voting differently this year, but it’s still the same old same old. Given the decimation of local news around the country, these national outlets need to do some actual reporting on goings-on outside their usual frames of reference.
