Quite frequently while I was raising my son (and still to this day), I would remind him that i would rather hear a bad truth than a good lie. Truth is not always pretty and comfortable but it always the truth. That being said, I think it's a journalist's responsibility to report the truth in a timely fashion even if it means looking like a jerk!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557869152631581543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7468001399048497361.post-14034516241531180422011-09-04T20:42:26.170-04:002011-09-04T20:42:26.170-04:00Erica,

It's certainly a topic worthy of more discussion.Bill Dawershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217608613847927892noreply@blogger.com
