…just because he chooses to announce his candidacy in his blog rather than in a news release?
I’m not very nice to the Duluth News Tribune’s editors or its owners and should not expect them to report on my candidacy with any eagerness. When they finally get around to reporting it look for their description of me as a “perennial candidate.” Such slights will make little difference. The Editors made it clear to me in the past that they have the authority to hand out endorsements for local candidates but not for those much beyond Duluth’s borders. Every Forum Communication newspaper in the 8th District (there are about a dozen of them) dutifully endorsed the corporate HQ’s anointed candidate, Chip Cravaack two years ago.
I’ve got a lot of regular readers in the DNT offices. Several of their reporters have begged me not to blog about insights, often harmless insights, that they have shared with me about the paper. With all the peeking at my blog going on at the Trib its not as though the paper can claim ignorance of my entry into the fray. But then again, that’s what I thought when I warned about defects in the Red Plan yet the Trib blissfully ignored them until they became a reality.
