Photo bias

It is always so nice during election year to open your newspaper to find unbiased pictures and stories regarding the race. I am in receipt of my Whitman County Gazette dated Thursday, Oct. 18, 2012. I cannot believe what I see on the front page. It appears from the picture who the Gazette favors in the District 1 Whitman County Commissioner race.

Your front page story’s second paragraph states: “The forum featured candidates for the two commissioner seats that will be on ballots mailed out by the county elections office Friday.” But the photo of district one candidates shows just one name and the names of both candidates aren’t mentioned until late in the article.

Do I have a stake in this race? No. I receive my mail (and newspaper) from a Whitman County post office, but actually reside (and vote) in Spokane County.
