Actually, I find it boring.  I would much prefer citizens and the media to push dialog on important matters like health care, taxes, infrastructure and so on.  We do not need to leave the generation of policy to politicians.  We citizens can force them to do what's best for the country, but only if we gather constructively to decide what exactly should be done in each policy area.  So some might get visceral pleasure out of the "investigation," but it contributes nothing, seriously nothing, to the welfare of the country and its citizens.
