We're less than a week away from voting to legalize marijuana in Oregon under Measure 91. The Yes on 91 campaign has bankrolled millions in donations and is airing pro-legalization advertisements on television stations across the state. The No on 91 campaign has bankrolled a measly $180,000, 98% of that from the Oregon State Sheriffs Association and the Oregon Narcotics Enforcement Association, and has aired no TV ads.
Unless you count the helpful people at Medford's KTVL, which last night aired a hit piece on legalization that might as well have been a five minute ad for the No on Measure 91 campaign. Cops were given free rein to utter all their untrue reefer madness talking points and the reporter made no attempt to balance the coverage with response from the Yes on Measure 91 campaign.
