Political Letters To The Editor Or Opinion Pieces In The Heart Of Campaign Season ~ By John Hamilton
Arnold, CA...Our standard policy for submitted letters to the editor is this. If you are submitting commentary and opinion it should be open for comment and rebuttal. In the heart of election season if you request comments not be allowed on your opinion piece then the candidate's campaign that you are aligning yourself with should have to take ownership of the commentary...
If you are submitting an opinion piece on behalf of a candidate's campaign then please vet your letter with the campaign before submittal if you are requesting it to not be commented on or refuted.
We should have made this policy public and clear earlier in the campaign season. There have been a couple of instances where we have implemented this policy on letters and a campaign has raised concerns that their campaign was being unfairly saddled with responsibility for strident opinions that were not entirely theirs.
This also made a couple of opinion pieces appear as paid advertisements when technically the campaign’s did not pay for those specific pieces to be run as ads. We have no way of knowing if the letters had or had not been vetted with the campaigns.
We see our job as providing as many viewers and repeated exposure to advertisements as we can. We have had one price we have charged all the campaigns to display messages the campaigns have provided.
We want to provide as close to a transparent and fair platform as we can. We all have opinions and biases including us. In many of these races we will not vote in them because we have had both sides as customers.
