Comments on: And the Alphaville Herald Endorses… http://alphavilleherald.com/2004/04/and_the_alphavi.html Always Fairly Unbalanced Tue, 04 Oct 2016 13:18:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Maria LaVeaux http://alphavilleherald.com/2004/04/and_the_alphavi.html/comment-page-1#comment-52331 Maria LaVeaux Fri, 30 Apr 2004 16:51:43 +0000 http://localhost/wp_2/?p=2918#comment-52331 I have always thought it the place of the media to report events, not create them. When a Paper endorses a candidate, in my view, they cease to be Journalists, and become instead Propagandists. While Uri's stance may not be the way of most modern media, it IS to my mind in close standing with the Principles of Journalistic integrity. Report the Facts, let the People make up their own Minds. It is a Little harder work for the voters, not having someone do their thinking for them but in the long run it is Both the Democratic way, and the true journalistic way. Well done Uri. Maria.

Well done Uri.

I couldn't afford to mislead even one of my loyal readers, DB. And the AVH doesn't ACT like a real newspaper, it IS a real newspaper, but with higher standards than the usual fare. Hence our great caution. ;) Sorry, it was a tough decision and there was just too much at stake. I couldn’t afford to mislead even one of my loyal readers, DB.
