Nathan Tsukroff is biased

As a reporter, Nathan Tsukroff should not engage in political activity. But he does. He circulated petitions for the recall, and he has contributed to political campaigns. Recently, he contributed $200.69 worth of in-kind donations to the Chris Miller Campaign for Governor. Being active in political campaigns is an activity that is usually expressly forbidden.

The following Ethics Codes excerpts are from well-known journalism companies of stature. Decide for yourself:

National Public Radio
VIII. Politics, Community and Outside Activities 1. NPR journalists may not run for office, endorse candidates or otherwise engage in politics. Since contributions to candidates are part of the public record, NPR journalists may not contribute to political campaigns, as doing so would call into question a journalist's impartiality in coverage.

San Antonio Express-News Ethics Code
Contributions to or work for political parties or direct involvement with issues is prohibited for all editorial staffers.
