Herald showing bias in coverage of Miyashiro

By Lethbridge Herald on March 16, 2023.

Editor:

We must take issue with the Lethbridge Herald for printing comments from Rob Miyashiro. Miyashiro is only an NDP candidate and not an elected member of the legislature. 

If you are going to print comments from a candidate you had better balance that reporting by publishing comments from all candidates from all parties, including Liberals, UCP, Alberta Party etc. The Herald cannot be excused if the other parties do not have candidates available. 

This is clearly biased reporting and shows the Herald is, as suspected, a socialist newspaper wanting to promote an NDP candidate they want to have in office. 

Rob Miyashiro is supposed to be working for the Lethbridge Senior Citizens Organization. Is he also getting paid from the NDP? Is he taking advantage of his position while having support from the Lethbridge Herald? 

If so, the Herald should print comments for all candidates, even those not yet officially running for office. Also, as Mr. Miyashiro is now campaigning, he should fully resign from the LSCO and not double dip at seniors’ expense.
