House of (mis)Representatives
Government by the people? Maybe. Government for the people? Don't make me laugh. Government of the people though is perhaps the most spectacularly broken clause in Lincoln's famous tripartite phrase, and what Andrea Seabrook takes a look at in "House of (mis)Representatives" the very first episode of DecodeDC. If this episode is typical of those to follow, then I think we can thank modern journalism for being so mind-numbingly idiotic that it caused Andrea Seabrook, NPR's congressional reporter for almost a decade, to throw up her hands and quit, because this is exactly the kind of information and historical context that is so desperately needed on both sides of the ideological fence.
