Am I free to report on the media now? What about the countless charges made by pretty much everyone on the campaign trail. 
I confess that If my dad was running for office and somebody from Monaco or another country said they had some interesting information on his opponent - yes I would probably want to know about it. 
I am hoping that one day, maybe one day, those who say they are serving the country, would begin to do something worth while. I am not holding my breath - just my vote.
