[StBernard] The Fixer: La. governor's candidate Boasso runs as problem solver

[Westley Annis]

Jer,

Quite simply, this list is not a news organization.  I try to make sure all
sides get out, but a lot of the articles are sent to me, not stuff I find on
my own.

Jindal used to send out a weekly email that I forwarded to the list.  If he
stops sending them, I can't forward them.

Besides, Jindal is getting more than enough early crowning from the media.

All: I am finding it quite amusing, yet can mix in disagreement as to the
content of poor political reporting going on here in Wesley's board.

Case in point: Ever notice that Mr. Boasso's info/articles have him painted
as a "humanitarian, good family man, etc." -always showing Walter in a "good
light". On the flipside, the other candidates are rarely posted with
equality in coverage as far as a "positive image" articles. 

If you compare what's been listed in articles, it's 10-1 concerning positive
for Mr. Boasso and 1 % for Mr. Jindal who is always posted as "illegal
doings, destructor, corrupted, etc. Compare that to Mr. Boasso's articles,
giving Walter a political favoritism indeed.

It does not matter whether Walter is a "home grown" boy. In the discussion
of OUR next LA Governor, articles written by non-St. Bernardian professional
press writers is relevant to St. Bernardians that have other candidates whom
are favorites in the run for our next leadership.

I'm bringing it up because in any fair publishing (that includes websites,
etc.) media, the group of readers are very diverse. There are liberals,
independents and conservatives. It would equally be fair to include positive
articles for any/all as well as negative press causing a lean to any
political camp. Wouldn't you agree, Wes that it takes other spectrums of
better journalism to be exposed in equal portions posted by other media?
