DISQUS

You have done us a great service by bringing Elizabeth's article to attention. Thanks to both of you for airing this vital concern. Like the author, I was also outraged by the short shrift the press gave last winter to "second tier" candidates. By the time we New Mexicans could vote in the Democratic caucus - way back in early February - the field had been cut in half, largely by the mainstream media's refusal to treat this campaign as a serious endeavor to choose the next leader of the free world - not as who will win the Oscars. Elizabeth is right; if we the people want a press that gives that us the quality of information we deserve, we're going to have to demand it. I'm cheered that the New Mexico Independent is online to be part of the drive for quality reporting.
