Mark Bralley and I, were precisely the two people that the
founding fathers had in mind when they wrote the
constitutional protection for our right to be a free press.
We were doing exactly what we were supposed to be doing.
Nearby, School Board Member Lorenzo Garcia was sitting
with about a dozen kids. They were chatting in their own
language. He was role modeling exceptional conduct and accomplishment.
He could have, if had known what was really going on,
pointed to what was happening ten feet away.
"Look kids, the free press."
Instead,
the kids watched APS' Praetorian Guard remove any
press that were not a party to the agreement between the APS
and the approved local "media", the ones who are party to
the agreement to slant coverage of the APS, link, in order to
manipulate the outcome of an upcoming bond issue election.
Somewhere on that patio, I would be willing to bet,
there is a big poster or banner that reads;
Character Counts!
Could this possibly be any more outrageous?!
