 Mr. Schieffer has been a reporter for 54 years. He is a veteran of how Washington operates. He spoke to us about politics, the era of technology in journalism, signed our books and told us what he has learned over the years. He brought up a lot of really good points:

• Even the worst newspapers have an editor that know where the information came from, on the internet you don't have that. Anyone can publish anything with out proof and people will believe it.

• Some politicians living in DC aren't in touch with their communities. They may the issues but they spend most of their time here in Washington and not in the actual home communities. They are usually from a jurisdiction with one major demographic. Their concern is in regard to their jurisdictions demographic, not all demographics.
