PD doesn’t cover its own county commissioner’s candidacy for Senate
Steve Koff misses PLJ’s candidacy, too.
You might have never heard of Tyrone Yates if you’re in Cleveland. If you’re in Cincinnati, though, you have.
You might have heard of Peter Lawson Jones if your newspaper is in Cleveland, but who am I to guess! Just a stupid blogger! I’m starting to wonder if Lee’s people are spinning the Columbus press corps that Peter isn’t actually running. There is a tendency to cover only that which walks by your desk in Cbus, true, but again, just watch the video from the horse’s mouth. Or maybe that’s too hard compared to calling Larry Sabato for comment from 500 miles away.
UPDATE: Koff just updated his post to note PLJ’s candidacy, emailing to remind me he’s at the PD desk in DC not Cbus. Ok, but I still think Lee is spinning people to forget about Peter. I just don’t understand why not a single newspaper in the state has reported on Peter’s candidacy except for Scene Magazine almost a month ago, despite the interview Peter did on a blog which everyone in the state is aware exists.
