As many of you know already, I am following the historical senate race in st paul, involving 4 hmong candidates. Towards the beginning, I have noticed that Hmong newspapers followed all of the candidates. As of late, I noticed there has been overwhelming bias in their reporting. Has the newspaper endorsed a specific candidate? Or, are they portraying a personal opinion? I don't think it is right to report the news when you don't report all the news... If they have prior notice from a candidate or their campaign to not write about them, then what is being done has justification. But, when I attend events where all candidates are present, and the Hmong newspapers only report one candidate, then I don't think their "news" is real news....

You are right. But can you show us which paper you are talking about? You can't point a finger at all of the Hmong newspapers, can you? There are 3 in MN: Hmong Today, Hmong Pages, and Hmong Times. Which one and which article are you talking about?

I've seen a few articles but I don't feel that they are portraying or supporting one over the other. Unless I'm missing something? Do you have the links to the articles/sites? Thanks!

I agree with you. I know that their news is not really real news. I had a friend working with hmongtimes and hmongtoday. and they love to listen to rumors. 2funny
