@WesleyLowery So if we just cut the words "moral clarity" from the essay would we be losing any part of its argument, or did you intend it merely as a synonym for *truth, fairness, rigor, and skepticism*? Those seem very different to me, but I can no longer tell what you see as the difference — PolitiTweet.org

@WesleyLowery it just means *be as truthful as you can," in which case I agree, but the essay makes it seem like it means more than that. In any case, I'll say again that it is clear you value lots of journalistic goods, whether we disagree on this or not. — PolitiTweet.org
