It pays to actually do your class readings

I answered my own question from my previous blog entry "Keeping Obama in check?" I did it by being a good little boy and doing my weekly readings. In that entry I asked if the press is supposed to be expected to keep politicians in check, not simply objectively relay information to the public. The answer is "Yes."

Cool!
