A touch more press

I'll take what I can get. Rex Smith of the Times Union mentioned me in an editorial today. It's a well-written, thoughtful piece on the reasons why a newspaper does or does not cover a campaign.

While I don't like the conclusion, I understand. My only quibble is his description that I criticized the TU for not covering "my" campaign. My letter was a broader criticism than that. #1, I criticized their hypocrisy in calling on Sweeney and Gillibrand to discuss issues when the TU reports every mudsling in detail, while ignoring candidates who do talk about issues. And it wasn't just about my campaign -- I specifically mentioned the LP candidate in that district and the Democratic primary challenger in this district, referring to how they also talk about issues and don't get coverage either.
