| Title: | Media in perspective |
| Author: | |
| Opinion: | The following quote, now nearly 100 years old, is still as true today as it was the day it was first uttered. When I see 60 Minutes, 20/20, or any other news program attacking or belittling certain individuals that are struggleing to make a difference, I think of this to put things into perspective:
"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or whether the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt |
