krqe tv reports on a teacher dui

apparently a teacher dui is newsworthy at krqe.
an administrator dui would be newsworthy as well.
a board member's dui would be newsworthy. why?
krqe does not report upon otherwise unnewsworthy
dui arrests. what makes educator arrests different?

I expect that it is because krqe wants to represent
them as fallen role models.

even the board, in robert lucero, argued that michael vigil should be fired based on the premise that he had set a bad example as a role model for students, for his arrest for dui.*

apparently krqe regards the leaders of the aps, as role models for aps students. and if they fall short as role models, krqe believes in an obligation to report on their failure.

speaking of fallen role models;

  • the leadership of the aps refuses role model the student standard of conduct.
  • they refuse to be held honestly accountable to any standard of conduct at all.
  • they will not begin an honest administrative accountability audit.
if they are not fallen role models; who is?
yet krqe tv doesn't find them newsworthy.

did you know that aps board president paula maes
is the president of the nm broadcasters association?
perhaps that is why misconduct by aps leadership isn't
newsworthy.


*actually, vigil set a far worse example for students in his apparent effort to escape accountability for his dui, than for the actual dui.
  • the board didn't consider his effort to dodge accountability to be misconduct worthy of mention or consequence.
  • his consequence was a boatload of cash.
they still don't consider an effort to dodge accountability worthy of mention or consequence.
gil lovato's consequence will be an even bigger boatload of cash.
just watch.

you may have to wait for awhile.
