24-7 news reporting can be a good thing.
It can also be a terrible obstacle to getting the job done.
Some years ago a professor told us young fellas that, rule of thumb: radio/tv live reports are least reliable; newspaper reports next day are a little better; weekly/monthly periodicals are better; and that books can be the best.
There are exceptions to all rules, but this is a pretty good rule of thumb.
It takes time to figure out what is going on.
And even then mistakes can be made.
The WW2 folks knew that not everyone is entitled to know everything.
Folks today think that it all has to hang out.
Not true then. Not true now.
