The Daily Tar Heel has also made an endorsement in the District 23 race, joining the Independent Weekly in supporting Sen. Ellie Kinnaird’s campaign for reelection.
But like the Independent, the DTH hasn’t done much research into Bass’s candidacy. Standard practice for newspapers is to obtain questionnaire answers or an in-person interview with both candidates before offering an endorsement, and given that Bass is mentioned in about two sentences, it seems as if they didn’t do that. They claim he’s an inactive candidate, which is not true as he has campaigned extensively (albeit without funds for much advertising), including several appearances at forums with his opponent. Also, I’m unable to link to the story because for some reason, it’s not available in the paper’s online edition. You can find it on the last page of the October 29 PDF print edition, however.
Speaking of information about Bass, check out the Roxboro Herald-Courier’s profile of his campaign.
