“I believe in equality for everyone,
except reporters and photographers.”
Gandhi’s words.
Little did he know,
an American President
would share this same animosity
towards journalists,
while ignoring other such teachings as
forgiveness,
compassion,
and the difference
between the power of love
and the love of power.
