Query: Journalist or Propagandist?

I have two major problems with this book. First of all, Pat Traymore is supposed to be a journalist- implying that she will be objective. Yet, throughout the book, it seems that her boss is more concerned with portraying Sen. Jennings in a positive light to sway the vice-presidential pick. If Pat is trying to influence the political system in favor of a particular candidat, then she shouldn't have been portrayed as a journalist. Mary Higgins Clark should have written her as a campaign operative.Second of all, Pat is the victim of a serious crime- stalking. Yet her boss and the Senator routinely criticize her for creating "bad publicity". I'm sorry is a stalking victim supposed to ignore a crime and not call the police because it might upset her boss? The attitude displayed by her boss is offensive and irrational.I usually enjoy Mary Higgins Clark's books, but this book left me frustrated and unsatisfied.
