Last night's main story was a bit weak. "Local politics may be the most corrupt of all" isn't really news, although it was fun to laugh at some of the ridiculous things people do (like the meeting with no audience). And I was happy to see Rhode Island get a nod--we've got plenty of corruption to go around.

He avoids the two most important aspects of the discussion, but I'm glad he at least showed Graham's turnaround on the issue.

This show is starting to get a bit formulaic. Did they even bother to think why credit reports are so hard to change?

I was already thinking "wow she looks like Leslie Stahl" when he dropped that one.

I still watch but I agree this season has generally been weaker than before.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
