alt Hacker NewsI recently watched a 2 hour congressional committee session, with 5 minute talking points per member. BOTH sides of the aisle used their entire 5 minutes to spout one-sided rhetoric and talking points obviously designed for re-election rather than anything resembling debate or conversation.
I have no idea which side "started it", but where we've landed isn't useful.

I don't think you can make a general statement based on watching a single 2-hour committee session.
These sessions are used to record clips that they can show their constituents. They are not for real debate.
