There are many journalists today who unfortunately loose sight of their role of informing the people of what takes place in the news today. Fortunately, there are two journalists who know the facts of the subject matter they report on and as a result enrich the American people. Those two journalists are E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post and Cynthia Tucker, Editorial page editor of the Atlantic Constitution. They take time to separate hype and talking points from facts and tell an accurate story of the subject matter at hand.
Both are good at pointing out the real story behind the news and are up to date on the issues. When one reads or listens to their reports it is like night and day compared to other journalists. All of a sudden their reports propel you to reality and allow one to recall how this or that issue is totally different than other reports.
Mr. Dionne had a recent commentary concerning why the nation should move on since the 9/11 attack and Ms. Tucker had a recent editorial concerning "A perspective on taxes." Both appeared in the Times Picayune of September 8 and are timely, easy to understand and makes the case concerning two issues that have an affect on our current events.
The American people would be better informed if we had more journalists like Mr. Dionne and Ms. Tucker. Keep up the good work.
