Tribune deletes one weekly campaign speech, alters terms of District 72 opinion page engagement.

In the third of three short editorials today, the Tribune's editorial board provides evidence of a further conspiracy against Ed Clere's campaign for re-election to the Indiana House, as the newspaper (only now) will restrict the incumbent's weekly campaign chats, (only now) in the interest of "fairness and objectivity."

Can the editorial be deleted? Has anyone seen my copy of Pravda (R-72)? How are we coming along with the progressive buy-out from EDIT?

TRIBUNE EDITORIAL: Election season fairness

... In order to ensure fairness and objectivity during the height of election fever, The Tribune editorial board has chosen to alter the publication schedule of opinion column submissions by candidates for State Representative District 72 — including Ed Clere and Shane Gibson. Clere has written weekly since his election in 2008 ...


... However, we’ve amended that decision to offer the candidates an opportunity to address topics only on predetermined dates with predetermined topics. This means Clere’s weekly column reporting on the district will be on hiatus until after the Nov. 2 election. We will also offer our traditional question-and-answer feature online and in print for voters.
