Orson Scott Card asks the question...

I think many of us have been asking this question (courtesy of Sean Hannity) - "what happened to journalism in America?" Well, apparently some democrats are asking the same question, among them the strongly pro-left author, Orson Scott Card. I only have a few quotes from the article, the main body can be accessed at the link below. Needless to say, it is powerful, moving, and makes you want to cheer Mr. Card right to the NYT, MSNBC, and Newsweek buildings (among others).

If you who produce our local daily paper had any personal honor, you would find it unbearable to let the American people believe that somehow Republicans were to blame for this crisis.

If you had any principles, then surely right now, when the American people are set to blame President Bush and John McCain for a crisis they tried to prevent, and are actually shifting to approve of Barack Obama because of a crisis he helped cause, you would be laboring at least as hard to correct that false impression.

If you had any personal honor, each reporter and editor would be insisting on telling the truth — even if it hurts the election chances of your favorite candidate.

Because that's what honorable people do. Honest people tell the truth even when they don't like the probable consequences. That's what honesty means . That's how trust is earned.

If you do not tell the truth about the Democrats — including Barack Obama — and do so with the same energy you would use if the miscreants were Republicans — then you are not journalists by any standard.

You're just the public relations machine of the Democratic Party, and it's time you were all fired and real journalists brought in, so that we can actually have a news paper in our city.
