10,000 Opinions
Musing on the foibles of journalism took me in another direction earlier today. What would be enormously useful as an internet resource would be a compendium of opinions expressed by various political leaders on subjects of importance.
Somewhere between an historian's appreciation of a subject and a newspaper's daily reporting of an ongoing story, we could use something that gives some perspective on how leaders are likely to go on an issue. Of course it can't be predictive, but it seems to me that a good journalist would know how to ask the right questions in the right way and get straight answers for attribution.
This could and should be a part of a standing resource available free to the public. Our democracy could use it.
Just a thought.
