Earth to News Virginian

The News Virginian sent their best reporter Bob Stuart out last night to cover the unprecedented endorsement of 6 out of 9 Unit Chairs of a challenger over a 3 term incumbent Senator. You would think they could have atleast printed some thing as sparse as the News Leader's coverage of the event.

I knew I should have taken a photo of the reporters, so then we could inform the public on just how good a job they are doing, by atleast showing up! But you have really got to ask yourself, why is the editor is wasting his reporters time by sending him to events they have no intention on wasting ink on?

Whoops! Late breaking news! An on line article...

FISHERSVILLE - A group of Republican leaders from across the 24th Senatorial
District offered their endorsement of challenger Scott Sayre on Wednesday.
At the same time, these leaders criticized incumbent Sen. Emmett Hanger, Sayre’s
opponent in the June 12 Republican Primary."Emmett has fallen away from the
Valley conservative values,’’ said Rockingham County Republican Committee
Chairman Mike Meredith. “He has joined the Richmond bureaucracy in raising
taxes.”
Also offering support were Republican chairs from Staunton,
Waynesboro, and Augusta Albemarle and Highland counties.
Sayre promised to follow the Republican creed of free enterprise and fiscal responsibility.

Wow! I'm impressed.. What really stinks is that Chris Graham of the New Dominion wasn't there to cover the event. Being his own editor, you can always count on him atleast capturing the flavor of the event, while poor unlucky souls like Bob and David Royer, of the News Leader have got to face the 'scissors' of their editors...
