Long Beach Post / Melissa Evans / Jan 26, 2022
“Reporters too often write up any press release that arrives, cover staged events, or allow candidates to respond to questions without challenge. The candidates and campaigns with the most money and the loudest voice get what they want, which is to drive the narrative, to get the media to do their PR for them. This, in turn, results in coverage that, at best, is boring, and at worst is misleading and detrimental to voters.”
