The media love Sheehan, but what does this say of them?
If there is one thing that the right seems to, it's that liberals are Americans. And Americans are no fools.
Having worked among journalists, I know that the intentions of virtually all of them are good. I know that they are not the deluded fools that the extreme right believes them to be. And I honor and respect the aims of profession of journalism -- to tell the truth, to hold a mirror to society.
I would hope that we all can become a more mature society, in the realm of politics, and stop slinging putrid slime at each other long enough to realize that neither Sheehan nor Savage represent America; that they represent extremes; and that God, love, and America demand that we understand the seriousness of our endeavor throughout history, our enterprise through time.
Politics is as politics does. If some consider a lucrative sandbox for their personal vendettas, then let that be on their head.
Journalists must stand proudly apart.
