If You Can’t Repeat Anything Nice . . .

God help us all if “Stepping Into the Fishbowl” is what we can continue to expect from the media.

Does the public’s need / right to know really extend to what some ignorant woman in Colorado thinks of Chelsea Clinton’s looks? How unkind of you to repeat it. It’s the sort of thing one would expect from, say, Howard Stern . . . but from a reputable family newspaper?

Let’s hope that the next four years will teach us something about ethics, morality and maybe even human kindness.
