Waxing on Brazile

Donna Brazile, interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, was dropped from CNN after the network learned (via Wikileaks) that she had shared a potential debate question with the Clinton team. That gave Jack Shafer an opportunity to drop this knowledge on you: “Her deceit reveals an ugly aspect of news talk that will probably go unremedied as Brazile is tarred and feathered by the ethics cops: That is, the whole show-business concept that places paid partisan yakkers on television is corrupt and venal and deserves burial in a shallow grave.” I agree with all of that (except the shallow part).
