I really support The United States government's sugar program to limit the import of sugar from foreign countries, stabilize sugar prices and create more jobs for out of work Americans. This article states that the two main candidates, Gingrich and Romney said that they wanted to end the US government's subsidies to the sugar industry. However, the program is free and the government does not give sugar subsidies. I think that the candidates should definitely have all of the right information because when they speak of their opinions on the subject, they can sway viewers opinions on something that is based on nonfactual evidence. Also, when the public finds out that they were misinformed, the candidates lose credibility and trust in their voters. A comment from Nick Sinner, a director of The Red Valley Sugarbeet Growers Association said, “I think it reflects the media elite bias against rural America, which is very pronounced and repeated over and over,” he said. “They take misinformation and pass it around as fact. To have two presidential candidates so woefully ignorant was so striking and disappointing.” I agree with this statement and think that there needs to be more emphasis placed on rural America and not corporate business.
