Boring Morning Television

I watched some of the beginning of the Today Show this morning. Matt Lauer and Tim Russert nearly put me back to sleep. Talking over and over again about the same thing is just boring. Why is the news media so obsessed about who is first, who is second, and who might win this and who might win that? Matt Lauer and Tim Russert should change jobs and become sports commentators, since statistics and who is winning seem to be all they care about. Someone who was talking about the issues and the candidates positions on the issues might just keep me awake and interested in the morning while watching the Today Show.
