...With all of the media hype surrounding prominent Democrats in California, prominent Republicans who might seek to run are being briefly mentioned or completely omitted from news stories. Republicans are automatically being overlooked as viable contenders, even though they have the experience and name recognition to win the seat....
Briefly mentioning a viable contender because they’re of the minority party is journalistically appalling. Whatever happened to fair reporting, where any personal opinions and political agendas were irrelevant? What happened to real journalism, where all the facts are reported, not just the facts the reporters and the publishers like?
California has a real opportunity to seek change. Californians can seek a different path. We don’t know what the Golden State will choose until we leave it to the voters. Assuming voters will choose the most progressive liberal possible is an insult to those of us who live here. Not all of us want “hope and change.” Not all of us chose to have our beloved state move the direction it’s going.
It’s time for the media to allow the voter to make their own decisions. It’s time for the media to do their job and report the facts, not their own biased opinions. Jumping to conclusions this early in the game not only hurts our political process but it’s degrading to voters.
