Get the Max With Minium: Harry Minium's First Column With Old Dominion

In my nearly 40 years as a journalist there were certain things I was forbidden to say or do. I couldn't hang a political sign in my yard or contribute to any political cause.

I couldn't cheer for any athletic team I had a remote chance of covering or advertise my affiliation with any institution that I covered.

Journalism ethics require you to keep most of your personal feelings to yourself, or at least they did when I broke into the business. In the age of Trump, the line between objective reporting and opinion has blurred.

But I digress.
