“when one elected official calls another___ , it’s a story”

Trib City Reporter Brandon Stahl explains his story on a not so private tête-à-tête between City Councilors in his blog BuzzDuluth today. He says:

“Where does the council go from here? Likely there will be some attempt to heal some wounds and move forward, but we’re talking about the two most outspoken members of the city council. Still, Gardner said repeatedly that she sees this as a non-issue and asked me not to do a story (sorry, but when one elected official calls another sexist and abusive, it’s a story). She called it a side-show.”

I agree with Brandon which leads me to ask why no one thought it was worth a story when School Board member Cameron said she wished fellow Board member Gary Glass would be removed.
