Why do we even bother to share our
thoughts on the upcoming election? Sunday’s editorial attempts to explain:
Over the coming week, The Sun News
editorial board will be sharing our analyses, and our recommendations, of the
candidates running for local, state and federal offices in the Nov. 6 election.
We do not call these pieces “endorsements;”
nor do we think of them as such. An endorsement, in our view, is an exhortation
that you vote for a particular candidate, and that’s not what we’re doing.
We simply want you to have as much
information about these races as possible as you go to the polls. In these
pieces, we will describe our impressions and critiques of these candidates in a
way that the journalists who write in our news pages will not. (Rest assured,
as always, that the two functions of newsgathering and opinion writing are
separate at The Sun News.)
