I am shocked saddened and appalled that OPB would demonstrate the flagrant lack of judgment and favoritism reflected in the decision to give Jeff Merkley an entire uninterrupted hour of publicity on your airwaves without granting Gordon Smith the same. The flimsy excuse that you chose this route because wanted to have a proper debate does not hold water. Had that been your intention, and you then found, as was stated, that it was not possible to schedule Gordon Smith -for whatever reason- then a more appropriate (dare I say fair and balanced) approach would have been to interview each man on separate shows, or to forgo the interview format all together.
You claim that you did not want to let Gordon Smith dictate the debate format you had chosen, yet no debate happened, and Jeff Merkley handed control of the full hour unchallenged.
I am a life long democrat, the only exception is that I am considering voting for Gordon Smith this election cycle. I, and other Oregonians, would have been well served by interviews with both candidates. OPB failed us.
