Fair and Unbiased Reporting?
Here we go again in SW Florida. The power of the press (News-Press) that is. This paper is the one everyone gets with the largest circulation. You would think that they are getting paid by the politicians to pick them for what ever position they are running. Maybe there should be an investigation. I don't know what ever happened to "fair and unbiased". It is instead the "POWER OF THE PRESS". I am always incensed by their audacity to tell me who to vote for in any election. I don't care if it is for people that I think should be there or not. For instance, I agree that Mike Scott has done a wonderful job with the Sheriff's department but I strongly disagree with Ken Wilkinson being re-elected. I think he is very responsible for putting our economy where it is with the unfair taxing and homestead laws. But that is my opinion.
Why the News-Press cannot just put each candidate's qualifications side by side and let the voters make up their own mind instead of assuming the readers are all dolts and we should vote the way the News Press suggests.
This practice should not be part of reporting the News. I received a comment that it is the opinion section and the News Press has the right to an opinion. Well, if they would place it like a letter like everyone else that would be fine, but they make it big and bold and infer that this is the only way to vote because we "the News Press" are in the know.
I have one word for that "NOT"!!!
