What is the point of interviewing pols for their "opinions"?

I mean, really, what insight is Scott Walker going to give? He's going to say Romney will win. Duh.
The same thing goes for Dem pols, too, btw.

We know what these guys are going to say.

I can't stand the media. It's entertainment not news and certainly not analysis.
