Who the heck is Jan Helfeld? Oh wow, he’s an Objectivist! [They all seem like proto-Scientologists to me.]

I have long noticed a tendency, as TV news gets worse and worse, for “reporters” to try to hog the camera as long as possible, trying to fill the whole time available with their question, droning on and on and on, with dependent clauses multiplying, never getting to the point – - – oops! I just did it myself.

This guy just never shuts up. An actual example of a “nattering nabob of negativism.”
