Slog - Comments on Daily Newspaper Reporters: http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/daily_newspaper_reporters So cute when they get to editorialize! Bob Young of the Seattle Times, take it away: [Republican gubernatorial candidate Dino] Rossi [deposed this morning as part of a lawsuit alleging he illegally coordinated his campaign with the Building Industry Association of Washington] has to counterattack. So he's holding a press conference at 9:30 a.m. No slinking in and out of a lawyer's office for him. [...] To Rossi and his supporters this is now a political ambush by Gregoire operatives and the loony left. The legal case against the BIAW, they note, is brought by Knoll Lowney, who sued Republican...

God you're raging with jealousy. And you need to do some serious re-wording here. You don't make any goddamn sense.

Between this, the Rossi "endorsement" and the Burner smears, the Times has lost any semblance of credibility. I'd rather make Sunday's New York Times all week long than support a dying home town newspaper that publishes biased bullshit like that.

He formed a committee and Luke Esser was personally grooming him for the job. In March. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Another good tidbit from these articles: Rossi went to rallies in support of Sarah Palin *TWICE*.

Sarah Palin last year. He is addressing a GOP dinner in Ketchikan this month and has spoken at Republican functions in Juneau and Anchorage as well as Wisconsin and Oregon."

By the way, the governor will be there Monday at 3.

"To Rossi and his supporters", "they note", "Republicans point out", etc.

You're too busy fomenting your outrage to stop for a few seconds and actually understand what's being said.

ECB didn't include the whole Young piece in her post. Read it, I also agree that it's full of contempt for the decision of attnys Lowney and Withey to have Rossi deposed.

Good thing you're pissing in your own pool because you'll never make a living in journalism anyway.

@2 Oh, and no one cares when you cancel a subscription to anything anymore (were you born in the '50s or something?), so sit your sorry ass down, stop puffing out your chest in self-righteous furor and go back to playing pocket-pool on the couch.

This would have been an easy link to include in Mr. Young's piece but to do so would have undermined the picture he's painting of these guys as the loony left w/no other motivation but to help Gregoire by misusing the courts.

Yes, you ALWAYS peg people wrong.
Ever talked to Bob Young? Did you bother even looking up his phone number on seattletimes.com? Didn't think so.
If you think there's even one Republican-biased reporter at the Times, you are a super-size idiot.
