“Stop being polite and start getting real. A long-held pretense of journalism is that it should be objective. It should be nonpartisan. It should hold people accountable. It should be professional. I’m not here to argue with those beliefs. But politeness needs to go. There’s no question that we should all be self-respecting in the work that we do. But when the stakes are so high, when people’s lives hang in the balance, this is no time to be demure.”
