I have been reviewing some journalistic principles and I am concerned that I have been too hard on Georgie Boy and Rummy.
As much as I enjoy using George and his administration as targets for a majority of my sarcasm, I should really try harder to find opposing views and publish them along with the jabs I give out.
I just get so incensed at what I find out. Passion is good they say, but objectivity is needed to temper my enthusiasm. I list the sources which I cite. That is good, but I need to do a better job of balancing the views I present.
I challenge my readers to keep me honest. By that I mean to say, present me with a source for your opposing view along with the facts which you give me. If I do it you need to do it. Fair is fair.
Let the games begin!
