Why can't New Hampshire just leave Mitt Romney alone. In her Poynter Institute article, Mallary Jean Tenore reports that the Concord Monitor blatantly disendorsed (is that a word?) Mitt Romney for his presidential bid. Is this appopriate for a newspaper to do, especially in an area of a presidential primary? The underlying ethics of journalism tells us that we should be fair, and unbiased, in presenting information to the public. But here a newspaper publicly denounces a major candidate for presidency. Are all readers in New Hampshire against Romney, so why should a newspaper that serves its public have the right to say so?
