Is the only way to get research is to pick up a book or surf the net? Peter Jennings, Ted Koppel, Tom Brokaw, John Stossel, Jane Pauley, Stone Phillips are not researching information when they are INTERVIEWING somebody? Interviews (Interviews defined as compiling questions and expecting a response) are not considered research?
A little one-dimensional, if you ask me.

Those are not research shows. Nova is a research show. Those are muckrakers. There is a difference between journalism and research. Do you consider the National Enquirer a research journal? They are just interviewing people right?
