Thanks to Paul Rolly for his Nov. 24 column in which he mentioned Frank Moss’ undercover work on behalf of Medicaid patients. At the time, I was taking both Salt Lake Valley papers and could find no mention of that work; if it was mentioned, it must have been a miniscule and hidden entry.
I found out about it from Time magazine, where there was not only a short, positive article, but also a color photo of Moss at a clinic, looking appropriately scruffy. I have often wondered how many votes might have been earned by local coverage of that involvement.
Ancient history, of course, but I still wonder about local noncoverage of what is going on out there. A lie does not always have to be a lie; it can also be simply ignoring a truth that might make a difference.
