Freedom of the Press

I don't appreciate newspaper editorials actively endorsing specific political candidates. The vitality of our democracy depends on a free and objective Press--one that reports but does not attempt to shape the news, that informs but does not try to unduly influence the electorate.

I have in mind a political slogan (suitable for bumper stickers) that concisely describes my ideal: "Caring, Competent, Incorruptible." I offer it, free, to any candidate who personifies its pledge.
