More on Mayor Nickels Chickening Out of Stranger Interview

Posted by on October 10 at 16:10 PM

Oh, Team Nickels also objected to an article that ran in this week’s Stranger about Ballard’s 36th District Democrats. As we reported, the 36th endorsed Nickels’s opponent, Al Runte. Team Nickels told us that wasn’t newsworthy, and accused us of going out of our way to write about it.

I told them that we’ve always considered the district endorsement process to be newsworthy, and in fact, I pointed out an article we published about the 36th District endorsements in the 2001 mayoral race when the 36th endorsed Nickels. Team Nickels liked that article.
