(West Side) Journal bias exposed.

I stumbled across an April editorial in the West Side Journal.

It was entitled;
Some Parents Are Just Being Counterproductive, link

The editors accused parents who are upset about being left out
of the decision making process, of being obstructionists, with
no real complaint.

As it turns out, the New Mexico Public Education Department
agreed with the parents, and in their findings, link, pointed to
administrative incompetence and/or corruption that denied
parents the opportunity to participate meaningfully in the
restructuring process.

The story here is that the Journal is biased. They are biased
in favor of one of their major advertisers, according to what
appears to be an agreement between the Journal and the APS,
link, to keep voters in the dark about problems in the APS,
in order to increase the likelihood that voters will pass a
$650,000,000.00 bond issue in February.

Apparently, passing the bond issue is just too important to
leave up to fully informed voters.
