Journal coverage of APS School Board election begins - finally

This morning, Journal Staff Writer Jon Swedien began Journal coverage on the election, link.

The Journal reporter handed in the report late without notice or apology;

Early voting already has begun in the election ...

 He wrote about the stakes on the table;

 ... voters will decide who ultimately hires ... the superintendent and (will set) policy for the district, which has about 90,000 students, some 14,000 employees and a $690 million operating budget. emphasis added

And then, apropos of nothing in particular, (Kent Walz et al dba staff write Swedien) gave Interim Supt Brad Winter's public image a little boost;

Acting Superintendent Brad Winter has taken steps to improve that relationship (with the NM PED)...

Good for Brad! Go Brad!

The editors; Kent Walz et al, relentlessly choose to not point out that;

• Brad Winter has negligently allowed or knowingly permitted public resources to be used to cover up a cover up of felony criminal misconduct involving senior APS administrators*.  
And or that
• Brad Winter has not taken steps to produce a candid, forthright and honest accounting of spending at 6400 Uptown Blvd*.

*All anyone has to do to refute either or both of these allegations to produce the truth;

• The ethically redacted findings of investigations of allegations of felony criminal misconduct involving senior APS administrators, and or 
• a candid, forthright and honest accounting of spending at 6400 Uptown Blvd.

If they won't tell you the ethically redacted truth about what they did yesterday;
if they won't tell you the truth what they are doing today;
why in the world would you believe they will tell you the truth any thing the do in the future?

Whatever else this Journal coverage is;
it is not candid, forthright and honest.
It does not sustain the democracy.
It thwarts it.
It is a betrayal of trust.

It is at the very least, journalistic malpractice.
