I've been watching this program almost from its beginnings. I've seen a lot of outstanding journalist. While Washington Week is an excellent program, the moderator always announces that the program features the best reporters in the nation, but they are all from the D.C./New York area.
Surely there must be outstanding journalists from The Des Moines Register, The San Francisco Examiner, The Houston Chronicle, even the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and others.
Viewers need to hear what is being discussed by journalists outside of the east coast to be better informed. I think this would provide Washington Week with a more interesting and challenging decision. The majority of citizens live west of the Hudson River.
