Letter: TV journalists are not in touch with their viewers

Tuesday, Feb. 10, 1998 | 10:49 a.m.

In their zest for poll results, here's what they should be asking: How many men and women have been involved in sexual indiscretions, to one degree or another, at one time or another in their lives?

The answer, I suspect, would be way too many of us. And it was easy to get involved, easy to lie about and hard to handle.

And so many of us understand the marriage problems the Clintons have faced from time to time -- just like we do. This makes them human and imperfect -- just like us.

I suggest the media check their own backyard: the TV soaps. Some of these things happen to good people. Tune in media.
