Editor,
Once again, my neighbor Bob McClellan challenges my determination to follow Jesus’ command and love my neighbor. Bob’s description of the “Murdoch empire” as “collapsing” (July 27) is both hyperbolic and untrue. An important part of human progress is the uncovering of corruption. And I for one am grateful when this happens. Certainly, it is good when journalists who misuse the tools technology affords them are held accountable. As with any uncovering of corruption, the next step is moving forward in a better way.
I have often asked myself why liberals and pseudo-intellectuals, including our current President, love to bash Fox News. The only answer that I see is that these people assume a superiority to the rest of us — working-class people who do their best to do the right thing for themselves, their families, and their communities. Fox News threatens them with its down-to-earth coverage of current events that presents more than one side of an issue. Quite rightly, the Bob McClellans of our world realize that thinking is the real power. Anything that promotes thoughtful consideration of what’s going on is a threat to people who yearn to control other people’s thinking.
