Charlie Moore; City Editor, Albuquerque Journal

It is he, I am told, who owns the decision. The decision; whether or not to investigate and report upon the controversy over scope of the upcoming audit of the administration of the APS.

Not only is the story ignored; but so is my every effort to get someone on the Journal; to get Charlie Moore,
to explain why they will not publish the truth.

I have made considerable effort to determine every possible explanation for the failure.

Only two present themselves;
Charlie Moore is a coward. Or he is corrupt.

He is afraid of the corrupt and incompetent political establishment who do not want honest accountability for public servants.

Or, he is in cahoots with the corrupt in the political establishment and will help them keep accountability (audits) out of political discourse, and off the table.

I have made every effort I can imagine, to give him the opportunity to respond.


In the absence of any alternate explanation;

Charlie Moore is a coward, or he is corrupt, or both.


...and he is not alone
in the leadership of the Journal and the Trib.
