LTE – Blogs as a Source?
So the Strib ain’t liberal enough?
Blogs leading the blind
A candidate’s late pattern of filing reports on campaign contributions is far less important than who is contributing to that campaign and for what purpose. Why isn’t that published?
Is it because the Republican blogs, from which the paper now gets its political reporting, will never supply the Star Tribune with those stories?
PAUL ROZYCKI, MINNEAPOLIS
Wanna bring up Emily’s list, Soros, or the Big Unions?

And what about the fact that there are, oh I don’t know, a ton of web sites that allow you to search who finances which campaigns — Opensecrets, Moneyline, the MN CFB, etc.
If this guy is so concerned about the issue, he can do something by taking the initiative himself (as MDE and Powerline have done re: Ellison) and conduct searches.
No no no, that is what the Star Tribune is supposed to do. Jeez, they are supposed to be the mouthpiece for the left, not the center right bloggers.
Not to take anything away from MDE or Powerline, but the unwillingness or inability (or both) of the local media to ferret this stuff out themselves demonstrates how lazy, inept, and/or partial they are.
If you do a google search of “Paul Rozycki” and “DFL”, you come up with this website:
http://www.scc.net/~t-bonham/MPLSCC1A.TXT
which indicates that a Paul Rozycki is a member of the Minneapolis DFL Central Committee.
So consider the source of the complaints in this letter.
