Even in politics, a writer or a public analyst must never forget his role as the conscience of his society. Such a public commentator earns this great status only when he becomes humble enough to admit wrongs instead of making ridiculous claims that tend to dismiss the generality of the people as mere fools just because he is under pressure from his political paymasters to lie about them and their achievements.
Ours is a digital era where almost all things are in the open. So, in our global village, when a public commentator chooses to behave as if he is the only one that knows the truth, he only succeeds in making mockery of himself.
