    Today I watched Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace.

    Ordinarily, I like Chris Wallace; he is usually a straight shooter--just as hard on left-wing guests as he is on right-wing guests.

    Today, however, I was rather disturbed by his regular references to Roger Stone as a "friend" of Donald Trump: Although these references were technically true, they left the impression that their friendship was behind the commutation.

    Perhaps it was. And perhaps it wasn't. (The president says that Roger Stone was treated quite unfairly--with this, presumably, being the reason for the commutation.)

    I think it would really be better to leave unimplied that which one cannot prove...
