egregious disingenuity

In Juesday's Journal, there was an editorial entitled, "Increase Lousy Turnout Of School Elections"

Its point was to express support for amending the state constitution to allow school elections concurrently with state and federal elections. For what it's worth, the only opposing argument that I have heard is that, it that that might politicize school board elections.

The red herring;

"At least part of the problem is the short ballot totally focused on schools and presented in early February."

The real truth: such abject voter apathy was created and enabled by the Journal (and Trib's) utterly inadequate coverage of the school elections.

They required candidates to answer even the most complex questions in 25 words or less; and then decided to change even those answers into clip art.

The editorial ended by pointing out; "It's time school elections were dragged out of obscurity into the spotlight."

But by whom? Obviously not the Journal or the Trib.

Neither of whom will comment on their continued refusal to investigate or report upon the ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the aps.
