I was shocked to find a Laura Capps sticker on the front on my Indylast Thursday when I picked it up. I thought that perhaps the proprietors of
the store where I get my paper had done that. Not true. The stickers were on
all the Indys!
When I contacted Democratic Headquarters about this, I learned
that the Indy considers this a paid advertisement. Shocking to me. This
sticker made it seem that the Indy was endorsing Laura Capps, an
endorsement with no explanation, no analysis of this endorsement. Totally, and
in my humble opinion, dishonestly, outside the realm of professional journalism.
In this era of Trump and the distortion of professional
journalism, we expect more of The Independent. I am a very disappointed
and disillusioned reader.
