There were attacks between Rick Caruso and Karen Bass, but the mayoral candidates also had a good policy discussion that got less attention. 'Our nation needs reporters to care more about substance than sizzle,' one reader writes. (via latimesopinion)
I watched every minute of the most recent debate between Los Angeles mayoral candidates Karen Bass and Rick Caruso, and I was so disappointed to see that your article. Sorry to say this, but you need look no further than your mirror to see who is contributing to voter apathy, the distrust of politicians and deepening polarization.
What I recall was different. I was glad to be watching a reasonable discussion of policy approaches for the first half of the debate and pleased at the way the debate was structured to allow that. It sometimes lapsed into the attacks that are made necessary by the way the media cover politics. What was missing from your reporting was the nuance in the candidates’ approaches to homelessness. Caruso seems to think he can build his way out of it, and Bass has more of a social work approach. Both agreed that there should be a relaxation of environmental regulations to build more. Bass has a specific approach to that, and Caruso seems to think he could do it via a bully pulpit.Our nation needs reporters to care more about substance than sizzle.
We live in a nation full of crazies and incompetents running for office, to a degree that’s scary. We should be thankful for the choice between Caruso and Bass.
