Patricia Moore
Regarding “Shock Wave Rips Through Compton Politics” (Nov. 20): This is just another example of what happens when the media select and appoint our “leaders.”
It was the media that propelled Patricia Moore into the spotlight. It is the media that determine who to focus in on, and it appears to have nothing to do with accomplishments or contributions to society.
I’m sick and tired of media-made heroes and heroines; people who are given media attention and made to feel as “leaders” simply because the gatekeepers decide, arbitrarily, whom to provide coverage to. The headlines are misleading. The truth is that there are no “leaders,” at least for me. And for sure, I’m beyond being shocked by such revelations as reported in this article.
