Finnegan Not on Vacation
Spurred by a comment on my blog left by a Montana journalist, I wrote L.A. Times reporter Michael Finnegan an e-mail, asking him about some obvious deficiencies in his coverage of the Kerry campaign. My e-mail is available here.
When I didn’t hear from him, I wondered whether he might be ignoring me because he can’t justify his omissions. But I gave him the benefit of the doubt, thinking: maybe he went on vacation.
Well, he’s not on vacation. He contributed to an article in today’s L.A. Times on the Bush and Kerry campaigns. (Typically, the article’s theme is anti-Bush, and leads with Kerry’s spin points, relegating Bush’s points to the end of the story.)
I suppose he could have an e-mail backlog. It happens. But in my gut, I don’t think Mr. Finnegan is going to reply to my e-mail. I’m closing the book on this one.
