Reflector coverage of Congressional campaign less than impressive

Posted

Editor,

If you want a snapshot of The Reflector’s idea of even-handed political coverage, just check out May 25th’s front page story on five candidates signing up to run against Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas.

Do we see photos of the five non-Republican challengers? Nope, just a stock photo of Herrera Beutler. Are there any quotes from the five non-Republicans on why they’re running? Nope. But The Reflector did find room in the article for a pair of Facebook quotes (more than a week old) from Herrera Beutler about her new baby.

I now know where to go for election-year baby news. I’ll look elsewhere for election coverage.
