Leave your opinion at home

I think Jill Greenberg did herself a great disservice when she allowed her personal views to affect her recent assignment, a photo shoot of Senator John McCain, for The Atlantic. She says the magazine didn’t vet her properly, that her views are anti-Bush so maybe “it was somewhat irresponsible for them to hire me.” Well maybe Ms. Greenberg the magazine assumed you would be a professional and do your job, which is to take great pictures—not smear a presidential candidate. Some conservative pundits blame The Atlantic, insinuating it was some kind of conspiracy against Senator McCain, but I believe Ms. Greenberg acted on her own here. This time I’ll give The Atlantic the benefit of the doubt.

I am appalled at the bias in the media today (both to the right and to the left). How can we ever hope to resolve some of our most pressing issues–climate change and energy, come to mind–if we can’t even get the facts about those issues? Maybe if more people start speaking out, the powers that be will understand that we want to be informed not just emotionally manipulated. (http://kbkeilbach.com)

Touche. I couldn’t agree more.
