OPINION:
When the media claim that they protect and uphold “freedom of the press,” they are acting as witnesses before the court of public opinion. As such, the press is expected to report the truth in its entirety (“The Kamala conundrum: The media’s love-hate relationship with madam VP,” web, Sept. 4).
The most effective way for news outlets to educate voters is to ask candidates about the top political issues haunting private sector workers. These workers are the real “We, the People” because they produce and sell goods and services for profits that governments then seize to pay bills and hand out to welfare recipients and wastrels. Top issues might include foreign wars, national debt, crime, the economy, individual rights and illegal immigration.
Answers to these questions will give voters the ability to truly judge candidates’ credibility and see how they intend to solve major problems.
