Nadine....why do you think the saying "don't shoot the messenger" exists?!? Read carefully. Its because he/she is impartial....hence the reason you don't shoot him/her.

No, it's because if you shoot the person who brings you bad news, you'll never get reliable information again. A person doesn't have to be certifiably "impartial" to deliver a truthful message...if they did, none of us would know any facts at all...
