If you haven't seen this week's Metropulse, check out the photo spread associated with Frank Cagle's article on the Commission race. All the candidates are shown, with those who lost their races stamped with a giant red "LOSER" across their faces.

Now, I have thick skin, don't get me wrong. If it was just me, I wouldn't care. But I saw an entire slate of good people who gave a significant portion of their lives over the last six months, and most put in a good chunk of their own funds ($7000 for me), offering themselves over to the community for service to try to make things better and move this county forward.

To stamp "Loser" across their faces is about the worse journalistic decision I have seen in this community all of my life. These people are winners in my book. Coury Turcyzn, the Metropulse editor, appears to be the real loser.

Check out the issue for yourself. If you think this is as reprehensible as I do, please take a moment to contact the editor, Coury, at this link, let him know how you feel, and request a written apology.

Better yet, call the Metropulse offices (522-5399) Friday or Monday and ask to speak to Coury directly. Demand an apology from the editor in the next issue for this shameful decision.
