promoted by Rosi I know, I just asked for a moratorium on press coverage of Chris Christie's sham "Town Hall" meetings, which are really campaign rallies in disguise funded by NJ's taxpayers. But if you're going to spill any ink (or megabytes) on it, at least report on something of substance. Here is what passes for journalism in the non-blog section of the Asbury Park Press: McGreevey's dad steals show at Christie town hall And in the Star-Ledger: Former Gov. McGreevey's father quizzes Christie on 'hot and sexy' comment Thank goodness for John Schoonejongen of the APP's Capitol Quickies blog, who at least reported on Christie's remarks about pension elimination "reform", along with this nugget: ...a group of about two dozen students from St. James School in Woodbridge — there to support passage of the Opportunity Scholarship Act, a proposed school voucher program — were part of the background. Twenty-four students excused from school, to serve as props for public subsidizing of parochial schools? Why weren't these kids in school? Are they "drug mules" for the voucher lobby? Remember the right-wing outrage over President Obama's televised back-to-school address to students? Where's the outrage here? In the meantime, there is quite a lively discussion going on in the comments section of Capitol Quickies, over pensions and the like. Enjoy. |
