Adventures In Menschlichkeit

I spend a lot of time criticizing bad actors; so I thought I might take a moment here to praise two journalists who did the right thing.

So: props to Fareed Zakaria, for returning his award from the ADL, and making the case for tolerance.

And props too to Joe Klein, for acknowledging frankly that he sinned by not taking a stand against the Iraq war.

It often seems to be that the biggest problem we face in our politics, and our media, isn’t lack of expertise; it isn’t lack of generally good intentions; it’s lack of courage — the courage to stand up for what’s right.

But there is courage out there — and it should be honored.
