Every election year, most newspapers endorse political candidates. Its a concept that continues to elude me. A newspapers function is to inform voters with information regarding each candidates accomplishments and ideas.
That is a newspapers job!
I will go a step further to say that I believe that reporters and journalists should not be allowed to vote as it ruins any credibility and objectivity. And as I like to say, credibility is like virginity, once its gone, its gone forever.
At the Ballston Journal where I am Managing Editor, we do NOT endorse ANYONE for public office as we understand that it is not our job.
