Last week, primary elections were held in Florida.
One race, in Broward County, featured a Florida house seat. One of the democratic candidates is the son of the previous Sheriff of Broward County, who is in Federal Prison for tax evasion and mail fraud. The son is Evan Jenne, dad is Ken Jenne. The second candidate is Robert Kellner, whom I know nothing about. The third candidate is a newcomer, Freda Stevens. Mrs. Stevens wrote checks to the station, WPLG, Channel 10, for campaign ads. The checks were not honored by the bank. There is the possibility that the account the checks were written on had a funds on hold, which caused the checks to bounce. I am not sure, and I don't care.
Anyway, Channel 10 broadcast a "news story" the evening before the primary that the candidate, Mrs. Stevens, had bounced checks to the station earlier in the month of August.
Do you think it is legally and/or morally correct for the station to have aired this report? I feel it was extremely dirty and not a news item at all.
I have no connection to any of the people here; I don't even live in the county this happened in (Broward). I am fuming that a station would do that.
What do you think?
