Jon Stewart said something interesting — and imho correct, that news is about the past.
When they start covering things that haven’t happened, that’s no longer news.
He said news should be like jury duty. Being rigorous and decisive.
That makes total sense, and gives a pretty good idea of how far off course we are.
