Stranger Than Most

So a prominent newscaster has been suspended for stretching the truth. What surprises me is that the rest of them aren’t lining up to take their lumps while the public is in a forgiving mood. My motto is always to take news reports with a grain of salt. Or a vigorous shake of salt. Oh, heck! Toss in the whole box! I’ll believe it when I see it! My other motto is that I’m too lazy to be a liar. I just don’t have the will to deceive. It takes too much trouble to invent a lie and to keep up with who’s been told what. The truth is always best as long as it is told kindly and constructively. But what we’re talking about here isn’t so much truth as it is memory.
