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.

PROTIP: It's normal to keep your books on a bookshelf in your office.

"or are they for show"

Huh. And here I thought everybody had shelves full of books already. I've had to stop buying books, I don't have enough shelf space.

My wife hates books, to her they are just clutter. Guess what she put up behind my computer desk? A printed tapestry of candle lit book shelves.
