Yeah, all those bookshelves, quite full of books, in the background of the home-based remote shots of reporters and commentators.

Whenever I saw those rows and rows of book, the first thing that ran through my mind was, did the person really read them, or are they for show.

Like most else in Washington, D.C., the books seem to be more for show that anything else.

The reality of my viewing of the home-based reporters is that I give more credibility when I see a refrigerator and a stove in the background, than shelves full of books.
