GOP Candidate Cho Gets Another My View Column

Submitted by BrianR on Wed, 12/26/2007 - 2:08am.

The December 9, 2007 Chapel Hill News 'My View' column titled GOP chair Cho to challenge Price contained the following:

A former Presbyterian minister and tae kwon do instructor, Cho is a writer raising two children in Chapel Hill. He has been writing a monthly My View column for the Chapel Hill News. His column will go on hiatus during his run.

Now on December 26, 2007 Mr Cho has another column in the Chapel Hill News titled 'Soul patrol.' (It's not online yet. I just pulled it out of my driveway at 12AM.) At the end of Mr. Cho's column today is this excuse,

This is his last My View for now. Cho's column is on hiatus as he campaigns for the Republican nomination for U.S. House District 4.

To me this column contradicts the first one. His column was supposed to "go on hiatus." Second, its a clear violation of the News' journalistic principles. Will Congressman Price get a My View column so he can promote his personal values too?

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
