The Columbus Dispatch and virtually all other media outlets are doing the public a great disservice by not covering Libertarian nominee Gov. Gary Johnson. Poll after poll very clearly evidence the voting public's strong desire for a third-party option and their negative views of the two failed major parties.

The Columbus Dispatch and virtually all other media outlets are doing the public a great disservice by not covering Libertarian nominee Gov. Gary Johnson. Poll after poll very clearly evidence the voting public's strong desire for a third-party option and their negative views of the two failed major parties.

Why, then, do the media continue to ignore Libertarian Gov. Gary Johnson? He is polling in double digits and he will be on the ballot in all 50 states (unlike the Green Party nominee). Gov. Johnson and his running mate, former Massachusetts Governor William Weld, offer a legitimate third option, for which the public is clamoring.

Just last week, The Dispatch ran an article referencing a poll that said close to 90 percent of millennials wanted a third party. Newspapers only hurt themselves if they do not offer their readers information they clearly want.

If there ever were an election where the saying "Voting for the lesser of two evils is still evil" is most true, this is it. Save our republic. Consistently cover the Libertarian ticket of Johnson-Weld, and only publish polls that reflect the fact that their are more than two candidates vying for our vote.
