@bobinnes The spec may able to create a bias but so too can RTH. Its a fundamental way that communications work. The main problem the candidates other than the top 3 have is that they have no record to illustrate their competency if they were given equal time. The other problem they have is that people know who the incumbents are. Even in a ward like Ward 2 the candidates that are going to garner the most votes are those with name recognition. Matt Jelly Jason Farr Marv Caplan and Ian Deans are recognizable names and they will all probably get more votes than they warrant on merit when compared to the lesser known candidates. This doesn't guarantee success but it sure helps and the Spectator or RTH have very little to do with it
