Manipulating An Election

Last evening Mayoral Candidate Kevin Johnson trounced Sacramento Mayor Heather Fargo in the only debate in this election cycle. He was on fire, lucid, prepared, had his facts straight and made her look like the "neighborhood activist" she is.
 
Today in the Sacramento Bee, the editorial board chose to ignore the debate win and instead published above the fold: Fargo leads Johnson in mayor poll; 29% undecided. The story is a fabrication - or perhaps a poll of the Sacramento Bee Editorial board. The debate coverage instead was a blow by blow of he said, she said. The writer's bias came through loud and clear.
 
It's despicable how the editors at The Bee don't believe in democracy or the voice of the people. They think they know what's best for Sacramento residents regardless of the fact that we will overwhelmingly and symbolically toss Heather Fargo out of office and elect a new Mayor.
 
I have interviewed Kevin Johnson twice for The Sacramento Union. Last night's debate showed the candidate I have come to know: confident, knowledgeable, passionate about our city, sincere and energetic. (read my interviews here: The Man Who Wants To Be Mayor; Kevin Johnson Talks with The Union)
