Journalism Is Not A Precise Science, It's

I Respect And Empathize With Reporters And Editors Who Must Compete In Today's Environment. And I Know Full Well That When I've Been Covering Campaigns, Which I Still Do, I've Made My Mistakes And Have Been Far From Perfect.

Editing Can Alter The Original Meaning And Context, And Computers Can Alter The Image Itself. The Camera Can Also Be Manipulated. At The Very Least, It Must Be Turned In One Direction - Only One Direction At A Time ... Who Chooses What Direction To Point The Camera, And Why?

The Press Is A Watchdog. Not An Attack Dog. Not A Lapdog. A Watchdog. Now, A Watchdog Can't Be Right All The Time. He Doesn't Bark Only When He Sees Or Smells Something That's Dangerous. A Good Watchdog Barks At Things That Are Suspicious.

Have You Ever Had Any Anger About President Bush - Who Spent His Time During The Vietnam War In The National Guard - Running, In Effect, A Campaign That Does Its Best To Diminish Your Service In Vietnam? You Have To Be At Least Irritated By That, Or Have You Been?

I Still Love Following And Thinking About Politics. I Enjoy Recommending Important Journalism I Read Or See From Other Sources.
