Bobby Harrison – Barbour gets undeserved criticism on oil spill
JACKSON, Jun 09, 2010 (Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal – McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) —

True, it often is the media doing much of the analysis. And true, a good, thoughtful analysis of a situation serves a valuable purpose. But by the same token, a good, thoughtful analysis should include more than isolated comments.
Too often, people in my business — on both sides of the political spectrum and current company included — nitpick and analyze singular comments made at a specific time instead of looking at the whole of a person’s comments and actions.
