A Political Press That Can Only Count to Two

In my last article on the possibilities for Libertarian Party action in Texas's Republicanless 22nd district House race, I warned that one should never underestimate the ability of the media to ignore anything interesting that involves the LP. Case in point: this longish Los Angeles Times article on what they portray as the race between Democrat Nick Lampson and Republican write-in Shelley Sekula-Gibbs, with nary a mention that small-government types who don't relish the thought of a Democrat in the House from their district do have an on-the-ballot choice in Libertarian Bob Smither.
