Too little on the Kennedy endorsements?
A reader today told me he thought we undercovered the endorsements of Obama by Ted and Caroline Kennedy.
He missed the small items that ran inside Sunday’s and Monday’s main news sections. On Page A11 Sunday, midway down the “candidate updates” column, we reported that Caroline Kennedy had endorsed Obama in a New York Times op-ed piece. On Page A3 Monday, toward the bottom of the “campaign notes” column, we reported that Ted Kennedy confirmed Sunday that he was going to endorse Obama.
And today, on Page A3, we ran a 4-column photo of Obama and Ted Kennedy parading the endorsement before cameras on Monday at American U. in Washington. An item about the endorsement led the “candidate updates” column.
A reader today called to say that we underplayed the endorsements. He saw it covered very prominently on TV news Monday, and suggested we missed the boat by not putting it on the front page.
Ironic that his question on undercovering Obama comes just one day after the criticism of our ”rock star” coverage of Obama on Sunday.
Why do you ignore Ron Paul? Does he scare you all? There are millions of people who are fed up with the direction this country is heading. He is the only hope for America
