IS THE AMERICAN PRESS “HONORABLE?”
July 18, 2018
Dear Editor:
The First Amendment ensures to the legitimate press protection of their right to free speech. It was never intended to protect them when their writers/talkers attempt to pass off outright lies, untruths, exaggerations and pure nonsense as truthful news. CNN is, by far, the worst offender. Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon, and Jim Acosta, the deceptive idiotic talking heads for CNN, are perennial offenders in the non-competitive sport of “Who is the biggest LIAR?”
Reporting the news was, in time gone by, an honorable and not-so-lavishly compensated craft carried out by honest members of a respected profession who followed the Creed written by the legendary and revered Dean of Journalism, Dr. Walter Williams. His Journalist’s Creed was and is so highly regarded that it was cast in bronze and is on permanent display at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.
It is patently clear that the offenders and their co-offenders at too many rags and on MSNBC, CBS, ABC, and NBC have NOT read Or DO NOT adhere to Dr. Williams’s Creed! Pity! Our popularly-elected President is being sabotaged, belittled, and maligned by the very entities who should be supporting HIM and NOT the Socialist Democratic Party and its traitorous minions.
