Please share on your social media accounts. Reynolds continues to avoid the media, as written in Bleeding Heartland. I don't recall if she bashes the media like many of her fellow R's. However, her failure to meet with the media, combined with the legislature's antagonism to media, both contribute to undermining Iowa media and belief in news based on facts and science. You wrote: "My view is that this when that lack of meaningful access is deliberate, a matter of policy, and aimed at avoiding public accountability - which is what appears to be going on with Iowa’s Republicans - it must be publicly discussed." Barry, I don't think R's sit around planning this. Just like people don't sit around talking how to be racist and get away with it. They just do things to undermine democratic values, or in the case of racism re-inforce bias.
I hope Mr. Piatt's article makes it into all of Iowa newspapers.
Thank you, Beth. Feel free to share the article with your friends, as well.
