I remember listening to Barbara Jordan (Texas politics) when I was growing up. She was articulate, had high expectations of herself and her constituents, and could compose a sentence/speech/position paper using proper grammar.
I also remember when folks had discussions about different viewpoints without all the whining, race baiting, shouting, and derogatory remarks. I can assure you that wasn't tolerated at our kitchen table.
Journalists were expected to provide both sides of the story, fact based sources, and be non-political ... they were writing to inform the readership--not persuasive speech, not demeaning.
I'm not a fan of the current crop: politicians, journalists, or media buffoons.
Which is why I spend less and less time with tv, the 'interweb' and no time with social media.
Thats my thoughts and I'm on to the next project-- as soon as I replace the fuel line going to the fuel pump on the Chrysler.
