Warren Buffett on Charlie Rose about "tax the rich" op-ed (August 15th) (charlierose.com)

If more people were as reasonable and logical as Mr. Buffett, there would be far fewer economic problems.

Unfortunately, the media seems to give voice only to the most extreme fringes of economic thought and lowers the entire level of discourse in this country. We need more news organizations and journalists like Rose, who see the value in presenting moderate points of view and can present it in an easily digestible fashion. PBS can afford to do this, but unfortunately, other organizations might be too dependent on profits and too short creativity. As a result, our country prospers less.
