It is important to receive lessons from hypocrisy, particularly when it is our own. The lesson we don’t want to teach is that of apathy. It may not be worthy of front page news, but politicians and leaders shouldn’t be Teflon. Things they do shouldn’t bounce right off of them with no accountability. And each person gets to decide for themselves what is worthy of exposure/accountability and what isn’t. That is what is great. If you don’t like the headline or the talking pundits, dismiss the discussion.

As for the media, they are supposed to read the pulse of their readers, listeners, and viewers. Not always the case, sadly, as in the Hooters piece you referenced.

Good post on a valuable subject, in my opinion. I enjoy your occasional rants.
