2-minute workout

TAKE a deep breath and relax, Howard Rosenberg (“No Point, Except for Ratings,” March 11). We appreciate your role of guardian against the corruption of direct, honest TV news reporting by the networks. However, Bill vs. Bob on “60 Minutes” should not be dismissed so quickly.

Of course they are boring, compared with the spitting spin-doctors who spout vitriol and simplistic analysis 24 hours a day. Of course we can’t expect much enlightenment in two minutes; however, we can hope that a few more viewers will get a sense of how opposing views can be exchanged in a mutually respectful tone.
