John Dingell, who served his country and the people of Michigan for six decades, died Feb. 7. We join the rest of Washington in offering our prayers for his soul and his family.
Our job, though, is one of telling the truth without fear or favor. The niceties most people extend to the recently deceased cannot be steadfastly observed by journalists when the deceased is a public figure, particularly one who has wielded as much power and helped shape Washington as much as Dingell has.
