The Advocate
March 4, 2008
This editorial by an anonymous author seems to almost undercut Bobby Jindal's attempt at ethics reform. Jindal is creating a bill based on stopping and curing the corruption in Louisiana. However the Advocate page staff wants to clarify that job might be impossible. It goes on about how the New York Times is giving Jindal's bill attention and categorizing him as a rising star among Republicans and someone who seems familiar with Louisiana's reputation for corrupt politics. However this positive opinion of the New York Times has the Advocate cautioning people to not expect much, because there will always be corruption, which is slightly pessimistic I think. The article chose which quotes from the New York Times to use and seemed to purposely present the comments in a negative light, almost mocking what the New York Times has said about Jindal's positive future as Louisiana's governor. I think this article was a bit one-sided and to me it was disappointing of a Louisiana newspaper to write about the impossibility of making our government not corrupt. Way to support our leader, Advocate!

From reading your description the article seems completely one sided and so negative. I think that the article shouldnt have been so pestimistic and then maybe people would have enjoyed reading it. I also think this is a bad article because it is a Louisiana paper and it makes Louisiana look bad.
This really makes our state look horrible. I know everyone has a right to their own opinions, but don't make them so harsh when they are publicized.
