“Jingoism,'' ``yellow journalism,'' all words that I used to teach in U.S. history class. I have never been a vocal critic of the state of the national broadcast media, but ABC News has caused me to reconsider. The two-source rule for accusation has been lost on many of the national media. Now, when Speaker Hastert is nearing a historic landmark, he is maligned. On May 31, Speaker Hastert will become the longest serving Republican Speaker in the history of the House of Representatives. You get this by being fair, honest, open and hard-working. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to serve with you. ____________________”
