The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So, you guys ready to admit you were wrong? - CO

-------------------

OK, I was wrong about not covering "at all". BTW, your use of "you guys" expands my error to be the entirety of some population which is not correct either.

Concerning the coverage itself. 1 minute and 44 seconds is hardly equivalent to several hours of coverage of actual testimony.

Further, each point within that 1 minute and 44 seconds consisted of a few seconds of actual testimony of the IRS investigators followed by a rebuttal by the NBC commentator about why that slice of testimony was wrong. It was as much an op-ed as it was straight news. No actual questions by any committee member were shown. NBC could have shown democrat questions which were most often speeches if they wanted rebuttal.

But back to the central issue. I was wrong and I should have said "barely covered".
