“Big Journalism” has this article on California’s Proposition 14, with an emphasis on how three big California newspapers, the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Jose Mercury News, and the Sacramento Bee, have used misleading logic in their editorials supporting California’s “top-two” Proposition 14.
Andrew Breitbart founded Big Journalism in December 2009. Breitbart formerly worked for the Drudge Report and the Huffington Post. The article about Proposition 14 is by Thomas Del Beccaro.
Although the article does not mention any details about how the Chronicle, the Mercury News, and the Bee determined their support for Proposition 14, it should be noted that the Chronicle only invited proponents to speak to the editorial board, and did not invite opponents to come to speak. The Chronicle heard from Lieutenant Governor Abel Maldonado, and Jason Olson of Independent Voice, but no one on the other side. The San Jose Mercury News also did not invite opponents of Proposition 14 to speak to its editorial board. The Sacramento Bee, to its credit, did invite opponents of Proposition 14 to address its editorial board.
