A guy named Stanley Crosby quit as executive director of the Lea County Economic Development Corp.
Kathi Bearden, chairwoman of the EDC, "said the board did not ask for Crosby’s resignation," the Albuquerque Journal reports. The paper notes that Bearden is publisher of the Hobbs Daily News-Sun.
Why am I telling you all this? Bearden obviously sees no conflict of interest in holding those two positions. And I dare say most Americans would agree with her.
Could you ask for a better demonstration of press bias in favor of business? A better demonstration of how deep, ingrained and fundamental it is?
PS When did your daily’s business section last do anything other than cheer the business community? Remember the last time they broke a business scandal story?
Funny, neither can I.
