Plane makes
crash landing
DIBOLL (AP) —
Authorities say a pilot and
two passengers have been
slightly hurt when a private
plane bound for Houston
made a crash landing along
an East Texas road.
The Texas Department of
Public Safety says the crash
happened Friday morning
beside U.S. 59 near Diboll.
The twin-engine plane
ended up in a grassy area.
DPS Sgt. William Kennard
says the Cessna took off
from the Angelina County
Airport in Lufkin then
apparently had mechanical
trouble.
Kennard says the pilot,
63-year-old Edd Campbell
Hendee of Houston, and
the two passengers suffered
minor injuries. All were
taken to a hospital to be
examined.
Hendee is a former radio
talk show host in Houston,
where he also owns a
restaurant.
journalists to be irritating
pains in the neck — though
I’ve known a few who
qualified — I believe them
to be indispensable to our
democracy. Our system
rests on citizens’ ability
to make discriminating
judgments about policies and
politicians. Without the news,
information, and analysis
that the media provides, this
would be impossible.
So I am uneasy about
some of the directions I see
journalism taking these
days. Reporters often seem
to take what politicians and
their handlers say at face
value. They look for winners
and losers at the expense of
nuance. They strive to give
the appearance of even-
handedness by creating a
false balance between two
sides that do not deserve
equal weight. They elevate
politics, polls and personality
over substance and measured
analysis.
They slant the news.
They engage in pack
journalism. And they delight
in spotlighting screw-ups,
which might be entertaining
to readers but sheds no light
on the underlying issues that
could make government
better if addressed.
I also worry about the
increasingly sophisticated
efforts by the government
and powerful interests to tell
us only what they want us to
know. The White House in
particular — under presidents
of both parties — has become
quite skillful at manipulating
the press.
I believe that much
contemporary journalism has
come untethered from a set of
traditional values that served
the country well over many
years:
• Journalism needs to be in
the service of justice, asking
questions, telling stories, and
inspiring those in power and
those who vote for them to do
the right thing.
• It should be a check on
power.
• It must hold tight to
accuracy, intellectual honesty,
rigorous reporting, and
fairness.
• And journalists have
a profound responsibility
to serve as lie detectors.
Journalists have to be curious
and skeptical, and not buy
into the conventional wisdom
of the establishment.
In the end, my concern is
that skeptical reporting and
deeply informed investigative
journalism are fading. We
need more of them, not less. I
want to see journalists digging
deep into the activities
of government, politics,
business, finance, education,
welfare, culture, and sports.
Our Republic depends on it.

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any
man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before or-
dained that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:8-10).
• Faith (obedient belief) must be present for grace to save.
• We are not saved by our own meritorious works.
• That doesn’t mean Christians should walk in good
works.
• In fact, faith without works, is dead (James 2:17, 20).
