One of the problems with election campaigns is that people who are involved in a campaign often like to support their candidates indirectly. I prefer the direct approach.
Case in point this week. Vic Bowman is a regular columnist for the Free Press. He is also working on Don Zurowski's mayoral campaign. When Vic submitted his column this week it was almost word-for-word the same as Zurowski's campaign literature. In his column, though, Bowman didn't mention that he was working for Zurowski. I was left with two choices – pull the column or make it clear to the reader that Bowman was a Zurowski supporter. I chose the latter.
Was that fair? Let me know.
