Everyone includes thelittlest people all the way to thebiggest--from unborn/newbornall the way to the Justice of theSupreme Court up to the Presidentof the United States of America. Now I am not getting political,even my good friend GeneWenner can't figure who I votedfor in the l,'lst election. But itoffends me deeply when thenational media press/televisiontake so many pot shots at ourPresident who is a democrat oragainst our Slxaaker of the House,who is republican, over matterswhere they have not been provenguilty. It really bothers me when ourleaders get raked over the coalsfor something they did not do, orfor matters that ,'Ire not significanthut merely items of juicy gossipto fill news/air space for reader-ship/audienceship/advertising dol-lars. For, I myself, want our lead-ers to be given respect.

Themc{lia should cut out all the rankgossip and the terrible specula-tion. People are only guilty whenpr{}vcn guilty in a court of law. Now it] the case of lhc 1-1(ltlseSpeaker and President of theUnited SlaleS, the first, a republi-can, lhe second, a democrat, I ameqtmlly offcn{le(l by the mediaregardless of my parly affiliaLion.Most of the people of the nationalmedia have no outwartl respectfor religion (most do not atlcndchurch each week) and most havelitllc respect for the basic {lignityof all American cilizens if exem-plified by an tilter disregard forour lca(lcrs--it it called yellow,jounmlism--it stinks! Freedom ofthe press puts a high standardupon the media--it is calledresponsibility. Yes, they have aresponsibility never to misusetheir right to communicate to theAmerican people in such a waythat they should never {lisrespectany American. Certainly, once a person isfound guilty, such as in the case ofPresident Richard Nixon, it is thenthe lnedia's duty to report thecrime and declare the wrong andreview the standard and acknowl-edge all the parties who are hurt.But, in America, before a personis found guilty, they ,are innocentand deserve respect until provenotherwise The stream of pre-trialnews ought to be balanced andproperly nuanced to respect thepotential long term innocence ofall American citizens. In the case of the. HouseSpeaker, it is possible he made amistake and was not tuing to doanything illegal or ethicallywrong! Heck, anyone can make amistake and should be forgiven,not vilified. The way they arethrowing bricks back and forth inWashington, it is hard for an aver-age citizen to understanthere is a wrong and 2)degree the party hasuse a religions definiti{venial (little) sin or a (bisin? Did the personthe sin and did they willtahead and do it anyway. If it is a little sin andnot do it willfully,be forgiven by the pressrest of us? Possibly evenbig sin and they did itthere are circ*mstancesstill shoul{l all forgive The point here in thission is that everything hin:each of us--on how weone another--and howrespect us.
