Press Went Too Far

To the Editor:

What has been done to Lynda and Stan Williams is unforgivable. Our press, under the guise of "freedom of speech," is taking liberties that would be executable in other countries. I have become increasingly cynical of our press as I have found that in many instances the reporting is biased and self-serving. However, I also blame the public, for if everyone boycotted the newsgivers (as I have done), they would realize the unpopularity of their slander, myths and lies, and would be forced to seek out the truth. But the sad truth is, to many people, a lie can often be more intriguing than the truth. So I am sure that reporters will forever be compelled to tell the better story, not the true story.
