We Hear

One of our regular readers ran into Nick Reid at a brat fry last weekend. He tells us that he asked Reid why there wasn't more coverage of the Robinson endorsement. Reid apparently told our reader that the Associated Press said this wasn't news.

Allow us to provide our interpretation of the Associated Press' answer: "Yes, Mr. Reid, I realize this is probably a story, but Congressman Obey has called and yelled at me so many times for stories he didn't like and my ears are still ringing from the last time. I just don't want to risk it again."

Why is the mainstream media so afraid of Obey? Why else are they so slow to write a critical story about him? Better yet, why won't they write a positive story about any candidate running aginst him?
