They want the few bad apples to spoil the barrel, as far as public opinion is concerned. But they'll only spoil the barrel if we lose perspective. They'll only spoil the barrel if we let them.
(Dear good apples, Denounce the bad apples - relentlessly and ruthlessly.)

So many readers are missing out on so much.
