Words and statements made during the campaign for the primary elections are especially noted. The words used to ridicule the opponent were often retracted or usually just not mentioned again later for the national election campaign. The line drawn gets erased and the offender often becomes the promoter. Go figure. If he was a bad guy before, what’s changed that he’s now a good guy?
Newscasters are the worst offenders of words because they go with what’s fashionable at the moment. Attack! Attack! They seem to do or say anything in order to be in today’s spotlight. Shining at the expense of someone else’s demise. Even when they are interviewing an invited guest on their show, they’ll cut the person short if the words aren’t what he wants to hear. What ever happened to respecting someone else’s opinion? Whatever happened to simply, good manners? How can the youth of our nation be condemned for mimicking what they see and hear on a serious TV news show?
Words.
