I guess they didn’t really mean it

The Arizona Daily Star editorialized several times this year, while actively trying to recruit candidates to run for mayor and council of Tucson, that the voters are entitled to a "robust debate" on the issues affecting Tucson.

On Monday night, the League of Women Voters hosted a debate for mayor and council candidates for Tucson for two and one-half hours. The Star's "robust debate" coverage: a few paragraphs about the mayoral candidates' response to a single question about the proposed Rosemont Mine south of Tucson. That was it. Mayor candidates split on backing Rosemont Mine.

I guess they didn't really mean it when they were whining about a "robust debate," when the Star doesn't report it. This is one dysfunctional newspaper.
