The Glorification Of Attorneys By Media Must Cease-By Harsha Sankar
Dear Citizen, October 1995
In my view, it is time for the media to quit glorifying attorneys and quit giving them so much prominence. The Roanoke times gives so much coverage to attorneys that one could possibly arrive at the conclusion that the establishment is owned by a law firm.
CNN has now a new show in its lineup, Burden of Proof. There are at least a couple new law shows on syndicated television this fall. Television was already saturated with these shows.
If all this is not enough, the media in addition always provides detailed information on the O.J Simpson trial as a form of entertainment. The intent of this letter is not to bash lawyers. It is simply trying to state that people who take advantage of the system and benefit due to its deficiencies should not receive such profile and acclaim. The average hardworking productive American instead should receive credit that is deservedly his or hers. These people, however, unglamorous their work may be, made this nation great by engaging in free enterprise and by satisfying the true needs of their fellow man. The media often overlooks the importance of the working, productive and entrepreneurial people and fail to give them due appreciation. Amends need to be made.
