<b>My Beliefs:</b><br><br><b>Politics</b>
I am a registered Democrat and believe in well-funded social programs and personal freedoms.
As a journalist, my job is to be neutral and report facts with as little bias as possible. My goal is to paint a clear picture of events, not to spread my opinion.
<b><b>Religion</b><br></b>
I am not religious but believe in accepting and appreciating the faiths of others.
