In the business of information, truth raises to the top. It may take time, and the sitting champ will fight back, but time is on the side of the more honest contender.
I read that a long time ago, and have believed it ever since.
I had a short conversation a few weeks ago, political conversations with the duration of short require focused generalizations, when my colleague quipped that he doesn't listen to a certain news station.
"They have an agenda," he said.
I appreciated his concern for fair and balanced journalism, but as the news station he shuns is the ratings leader now a days, I dropped my opening line on him.
That is all.
Oddly, today I viewed a number of news sites, wanting to see the coverage on the Brown win in Massachusetts.
The ratings leader had a story on the victory, even an image on the front page of the smiling victor.
The news site preferred by my friend on guard against agendas had a story of the loser's faulty campaign and a story on the first year of the Obama Administration. Nothing on the Brown triumph! No kidding.
You know what, my friend never seen that clip of Brown rebuking the debate moderator about the seat not being the Kennedy's nor the Democrat Party.
Should I let him know who won last night? I hate to come off as a Republican mouth piece. . . .
