If you’ve wondered why I’m silent on most major news, it’s because I believe that deeply in not injecting my opinion into national issues. As a print journalist, I feel a great need to show not even a shadow of an opinion on major news. I admit that I sometimes fail.

What I will say: Authorities who target the media are indiciative of a government that wants to operate without accountability. Regardless of what you think of the media, one wonders about the law enforcement capabilities of those who are loath to obey the First Amendment. That includes freedom of the press, freedom of speech, right to peaceably assemble and petition for a governmental redress of grievances.

And that is an issue that stretches to every corner of our nation.
