No respect for truth

Tue., March 20, 2012

One might consider it a moral low point to include three untruths in one short paragraph (“U.S. hits moral low point,” March 9).

1) Our president phoned Sandra Fluke to empathize with an egregiously slandered citizen. There was no congratulation.

2) Fluke made no demands.

3) She was discussing health risks (ovarian cysts, etc.) not promiscuity.

Please show some respect for the truth.
