Capt. David s. Germany congratulations on your courage and integrity in printing a staff writer Saul Pett s excellent analysis of the Johnson years in the april 22 Issue. Pett was at once generous and cruel but above All honest in his portrayal of Johnson the Man. And stars and stripes was admirably aware of its editorial responsibility to feature such a candid albeit not entirely complimentary analyses of contemporary Public figures. I Well remember my first exposure to the stars and stripes the Early sixties when feature stories such As Pett s were thought to smack of unpatriotic heresy and never reached the military Reader. Hopefully such repressive policies Are a thing of the past and Well continue to enjoy articles of this nature. To. Sgt. Stanley a. Bishop Brindisi Italy unbiased news reporting this person s purpose in writing is merely to ask a question of the people who Are responsible for news Media. Do you the people who Are responsible for unbiased reporting of the news feel that you Are actually fulfilling that goal the president of the United states explained in a press conference not Long ago that the people responsible for news Media can twist an event better than anyone else. I believe this to be the Case. For example the new York times did More for Fidel Castro s cause than 10 divisions of troops could have done. Stokely Carmichae would be relatively unknown if not for the press. This even the executive director of the Urban league feel that the people responsible for unbiased reporting of the news tend to play Down the Normal and Good sequences of life and play up the things that sell papers. The people who take pictures of news events especially the riots lately seem Only to take pictures of the police hitting a youth with a club or the police spraying the poor students. The ignore completely the pictures of students throwing stones or overturning cars or hitting the person really wonders whose Side the news Media is on. Do you do a service to the Community or a disservice a. J. Wunderlich Frankfurt citizen for Law and order editor s note the managing editor replies 1-yes, we do. 2the new York times must certainly be the most objective newspaper in existence. No hint of its editorial policy can be gleaned from Reading the news pages.3-your View of Stokely Carmichael was contained in a Story which this paper printed.4-to make news something must happen.
