> It's people like you who are making me realize that I will be judged simply on the basis of my profession, and there is probably nothing I can do to change that. But each time someone does that, it makes me stronger. It makes me realize just how very much I need to think on my own and not worry when people make mistakes about me or about the organization in which I work.

Ellmyruh, I don't know much about your political views. I liked what you said about not voting along party lines and not accepting things as gospel, etc.; I think that's good. It's good to make informed decisions and not be a blind follower of a party.

But what I really wanted to say in this post was this: I know much more about your personality and you personally than politically, and from what I've seen, I think we need as many people like you working in the media as we can get. Keep up the good work.
