| Jack Ciattarelli at an April, 2013 Town Hall Meeting |
According to an article in Sunday’s The New York Times, the interest being demonstrated by Garden State voters to the
gubernatorial primary elections which will be held on June 6, are of little
interest.
That’s too bad, but not
unanticipated given that rarely do primaries garner much attention.
Moreover, the Times story used up most of its ink naming and
discussing the Democrat candidates, giving negligible attention to the other
side of the aisle.
The only reference to the GOP was that of Democrat front runner Phil Murphy’s criticism of “the transportation plans of Lt. Gov. Kim
Guadagno, one of two main candidates running in the Republican primary,” according
to Nick Corasaniti, writer of the Times
report.
Did Mr. Corasaniti not research the name of the other of the “two main [Republican] candidates,” Jack Ciattarelli,
or is he simply being dismissive of him?
It’s below-par journalism to mention the name of Kim Guadagno without mentioning
Jack Ciattarelli, her chief opponent in the Republican Primaries.
Nick Corasaniti may think of Jack Ciattarelli as a long shot
unworthy of mention, but everyone’s
name in this contest deserves ink-space in the presumably venerable and
competent reportage of the New York Times.
