Telling it like it is . . .
You’ve probably read or heard about all the hullaballoo about firings of U.S. Attorneys. If you haven’t heard, you’ve probably been under a rock or just working with your nose to the grindstone. One thing I have noticed is that nobody has done a good job of explaining why it’s such a big deal. (Nobody meaning political pundits and even worse . . . the press).
The thing is, people get fired in politics all the time. The problem is, nobody cares about the issue if nodody gets it. Just lay it out on the table. Tell it like it is.
CNN finally stepped up and explained it plainy and simply in the first paragraph: “Investigators probing whether U.S. attorneys were fired for political rather than professional reasons are looking at why there is a 16-day gap in e-mail records released to them.”
Simple is always better.
