HELP!
There was a primary held on 6/14/05 for the Ohio 2nd district US Representative, the election is to be held in August. The election is being held due to Rep. Portman receiving an appointment by Bush. On 6/15/05 I went to the Cincinnati Enquirer on line to check what the results of the primary. The on line edition had a big picture of the republican winner and the headline under the picture that only mentioned the republican. I called the Cincinnati Enquirer (513) 768-8600 to inquire as to the reason why only the republican was mentioned. The editor replied that she thought the republican race was close and that was a news worthy story. While the democrat Paul Hacket who won the primary by a landslide was not considered as news worthy. Also she said that space on line was small and could not cover everything. So why did they have a large picture of the republican instead of two smaller pictures side by side of the republican and Mr. Hacket. I told her that I did not read the article due to the fact only the republican being mentioned. She said that Mr. Hacket was mentioned in the story. So I asked why he wasn't in the headline. The Cincinnati Enquirer made it seem like the election is already over and the only candidates were republicans. I told her that when the election is held it is the people who will decide who gets elected and not The Cincinnati Enquirer.
Later I went back on line and checked the story. They had put Mr.Hacket on the headline but, made it sound like he has already lost. The story was 90% about the republican and how the 2nd district is republican. Well I live in Scioto County Ohio and for years had Mr. Ted Strickland as a US representative he is most defiantly a democrat. A couple years ago the republicans gerrymandered the state and divided the district I was in between two predominately republican districts. I would like to note that Mr. Strickland is still a US Representative.
I did a search on the Republican candidate and found out on the site that the main reason why she should have been voted for is because the Cincinnati Enquirer endorses her. No bibliography. Mr. Paul Hacket is an Iraq war veteran. He volunteered to go to Iraq to fight. He is a lawyer and has his own law office.
