The Albuquerque Journal Has Joined Forces with APS/Modrall

Consider their headline in this morning's Journal. (sub req)

APS Exec Has Sued Past Employers

Now consider your feelings about the former APS executive and her lawsuit against the leadership of the APS. Does her complaint feel less credible?

It does if Charlie Moore and the Journal got the effect they were looking for. The wording is not accidental. The purpose of the article is too discredit Boothe. There is nothing in the article that is "news".

If you are honest, after reading the report, you will have to admit that you feel differently about Lou Anne Booth and her complaint. This despite the fact that there in not one word in the article related to any of the issues of the complaint.

She sues people all the time, you are thinking; she must be less credible; her complaint must be less credible.

APS/Modrall will not be allowed to enter her previous lawsuits as evidence during a trial.

No judge will allow them to enter the record as evidence, because it is irrelevant.

So APS/Modrall needs to enter her record into the mind of the jury (pool) now; before a judge can prevent them from bringing it up.

And the Journal has stepped up to help. The "news" story did not mention, for instance, that the person against which Boothe made her complaint; APS CBO Bill Moffatt, also has a record of a previous lawsuit;
over similar allegations, and one which he lost.



Shame on the Journal for a flagrant, a blatant, and an absolutely egregious disregard for the ethics of journalism.

And for its continued complicity in the cover up of a widespread ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the APS.
