Readers Respond - Pope - Comment by Kat
Subject: ARTICLE ON THE POPE
MS. LEVINSON,
I WILL ADMIT I WAS PERSONALLY OFFENDED WHEN I READ YOUR ARTICLE ON THE POPE. MY ANGER HERE ISN'T ABOUT WETHER BEING GAY/LESBIAN IS OK. IT IS ABOUT YOU BEING A MEMBER OF THE MEDIA, AND WRITING COMPLETELY ONE-SIDED.
AS A FELLOW MEMBER OF THE MEDIA, I CAN'T HELP BUT COMMENT ON THIS. ONE BIG HIDDEN RULE IS TO BE OBJECTIVE, FAIR, AND COMPLETE. I FEEL YOU FAILED ALL THREE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS WHEN WRITING THIS STORY.
I AM A NEW "MEMBER" TO THIS SITE, AND I WILL BE HONEST...I DON'T CARE TO RECIEVE YOUR ARTICLES EVER AGAIN. I WAS ANGERED AND OFFENDED AND FEEL YOUR ARTICLE WAS 100% UNPROFESSIONAL. NOW, IF THIS WAS A GAY/LESBIAN SITE, THEN MAYBE THIS WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE. BUT IT STILL WOULD BE ONE-SIDED. THE PROBLEM IS...IT SEEMS YOUR PERSONAL OPPINION BLED THROUGH YOUR WORDS AND RUINED WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN INTERESTING PIECE OF WORK.
DID YOU EVER CONSIDER WHEN WRITING THIS THAT THE POSITION OF BEING POPE MEANS THAT HE IS THE LEADER OF THE ENTIRE CATHOLIC RELIGION. THAT MEANS HE IS BOUND TO GOD TO UPHOLD THE BELIEFS AND FAITH OF CATHOLISISM. HE HAS TO REINFORCE THE BELIEFS AND TEACHINGS OF CATHOLISISM. WETHER YOU OR ANY HOMOSEXUAL, OR ANY CATHOLIC DOESN'T LIKE IT...THATS TOO BAD.
MAYBE IN THE FUTURE YOU SHOULD DO MORE WORK AND GET MORE INFORMATION TOGETHER WITH AN UNBIASED OPINION, BEFORE WRITING YOUR NEXT STORY. YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO DELIVER NEWS TO THE PUBLIC. THE PUBLIC MEANS NOT JUST GAYS&LESBIANS, BUT CATHOLICS, ATHIESTS, BAPTISTS, PROTESTANTS, MORMONS, BLACKS, WHITES, ASIANS, YOUNG AND OLD ETC.
IN CLOSING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THIS IS MY OPINION THAT I HOPE YOU RESPECT AND THINK ABOUT. JUST AS GAYS/LESBIANS WANT THE PUBLIC TO BE OPEN MINDED AND UNPREJUDICED...THE PUBLIC NEEDS GAYS/LESBIANS TO BE THE SAME. OTHERWISE THEY ARE BEING HYPOCRYTICAL. I THINK THIS SHOULD ALSO APLY TO YOU WHEN WRITING YOUR NEXT ARTICLE.
