You sourced out a fringe candidate who is obviously insane and gave him a national platform to air his views. I wouldn't call that news or responsible journalism. He is as much a candidate as a racist uncle is a primetime pundit.

When writing an article to inform the public about a dangerous individual seeking political office, wouldn't it also be more responsible to offer at least a mention to the other (more legitimate) candidates in the running?
As it stands the article provides visibility to his platform for other like-minded individuals and no publicity for those who stand against him.

Where do you think the internet is taking the literary world? I know many budding authors who publish their work online for free, taking revenue from ad sales as they become more popular, and eventually putting their work in print should their fans be interested. As a new author with the internet, do you think you would have gone this route, or do you think the established process would have proved more beneficial (editors, publishing houses, etc).
