I was impressed with the collage of well-known Los Angeles Jews that graced the cover of last week's edition of The Jewish Journal.
Just recently, I noticed that Howard Berman was prominently placed on the cover, but not one picture of Brad Sherman.
The Jewish Journal has been writing about the Berman-Sherman contest for almost two years now. How could the cover editor have failed to include the second candidate of that contentious race in the cover of the magazine?
If The Jewish Journal insists on airing or subtly letting slip a bias, at least they should have the chutzpah to admit it openly.
On another note, as a conservative I for one am glad that Sherman is polling ahead of the Berman machine in the valley. The California Citizens Redistricting Commission has accomplished exactly what the voters wanted: ending the hegemony of entrenched politicians choosing their districts. Now every politician must appeal to all voters, regardless of party — a practice which Berman seems to disdain, as much as his other half Henry Waxman.
November 6th, end the Waxman-Berman machine!
