On Page 1 of the sept. 24 edition there is the Story boil two network american broadcasting company and Columbia broadcasting system not granting time to gov. George Romney of did you not Tell the whole Story this denial was based on the fact that the new fall season has just begun and the primetime is sold and the broadcasters Are committed to the sponsors for the programming. This was not a political denial As you would try to have your readers believe. The True version appeared one Day earlier in the International Herald Tribune. In the monday sept. 18 Issue you carried on your editorial Page two articles on Why Johnson would win if the election were held now. This background interpretive news As you Call it is arty reports by democratic political leaders however on Page same Issue the Gallup poll put Rocky Over the past you have made every attempt to play Down us republicans and play up the democrats. Either publish the whole Story or nothing at All last fall you went out of your Way to make the Republican candidates look bad in particular governor Reagan. Rockefeller and Shafer the latter of Pennsylvania. You had All three losing badly almost As badly As what the democrats that ran against these great honest men lost to them by. I do not dispute your right to be a Democrat or a member of any other political philosophy however you Are indebted to those of us not of your philosophy to publish the whole True Story despite the fact it May be contrary to your philosophy. Yours for truth in news reporting. William s. Tobash Frankfurt editor s note stripes philosophy is merely to publish the news As objectively As possible. We do not play up democrats nor play Down first Story on Romney s request for to specified that net works were reluctant to give him High Cost evening time because of the proliferation of new any Reader of the stories can draw his own article on president Johnson reported the results of a sur vey made by United press International. The very fact that we carried another Story the same Day reporting that a Gallup poll put Rockefeller ahead of Johnson should prove that we Aire trying to be objective and nonpartisan. Reporting the up Survey does not mean we Are pro Johnson any More than reporting the Gallup poll makes us pro Rockefeller. Our election coverage last fall correctly reported the results of Reagan Rockefeller and Shafer races. We can find nothing in our clippings to indicate we Ever reported that they were losing badly.
