Since 2008 – Progress Through Politics

process

What do you want to read?

One of the most common complaints about the Beltway media is that they are more concerned with process than with policy. That's why we get stories about Boehner improving his image by leading the House Republicans against the stimulus. We also hear about Republicans getting shut out of the debate. When it comes to policy, silence. That is why we never heard a discussion about the merits of the items in the stimulus bill that the Republicans opposed. All we heard were the Republicans belittling such items.

The media is sometimes part of the solution, but more often part of the problem. There are signs that the blogosphere is causing the media to improve their coverage. The signs are few and far between now, however that will change as time goes on. With that in mind, how should the Moose contribute to the discussion? In other words, what do you guys and gals want to read?

Issues:

  • Health care
  • Iraq

One subject I would love to see covered would be a comparison of health care systems around the world. What works and what doesn't?
 
Another subject I'd like to read about is what options we have going forward in Afghanistan.
 
Something I've started to write about is debunking Right-wing talking points and lies.
 
If we get enough ideas this diary could be turned into a static page that could be listed in the menu. Whenever you have what you think is a good idea for a diary, but don't have time to write it yourself, add it to the comments. This would be a handy reference for anyone looking for something to write about.
 
Let's hear from the rest of you. What would you like to read or write about?
