To the Editor, RMNews,
The Rocky Mountain News appears to have taken a road similar to the
government bureaucrats who tell only one side of the story and call it
unbiased, like in the Blue Book. The News runs big articles on the DEA and
prints their ridiculous quotes as if it is the only truth, while completely
ignoring groups like Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) and National
Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) who also have truths
that tell a different story. The News covers groups like GOCAM (Guard Our
Children Against Marijuana) with feature articles, but a similar group,
GOCAMP (Guard Our Children Against Marijuana Prohibition), meeting on the
Capitol steps with radio and TV coverage, doesn't even get a mention in the
next days paper. A strange preponderance of articles about marijuana and
children seems to have pervaded the media, all pretty much negative, if not
outright lies. Where is the media coverage of the teenager who suffered
incurable weekly epileptic seizures until he discovered medicinal marijuana
and has been seizure free now, for two years? People deserve to hear all the
truth, not just the parts that can be twisted to serve someone's agenda. An
informed electorate is the politicians and bureaucrats most formidable
enemy. Will the Rocky Mountain News perform it's civic duty and inform the
electorate of ALL the Truth??
