Letter to the Editor 10/23: Response to Criterion Ballot Endorsements

I am Ella Bennetts, I am writing to raise a concern regarding the section in your latest issue entitled “Criterion Ballot Endorsements.” Transparently, the way you suggest Coloradoans vote for the most part I agree with, and I myself voted similarly to your recommendations. The fact that this section was even permitted to be published, on a campus that champions a philosophy of “teaching you how to think for yourself” no less, is asinine. In my opinion, this article is morally equivocal to running a political advertisement in your paper, a notion I imagine many of you would vehemently reject. I believe it is perfectly acceptable, your duty even to provide objective information about candidates, propositions, and ballot measures. Providing heavily opinionated recommendations is beyond your scope as a newspaper that claims to be the voice of students. This article being published, especially this close to election day, is inadvertently influence readers’ votes, a function that is a gross overreach of your job as a student paper.
