The Oregonian, the Downing Street Memo, Thom Hartmann

[kaitykaity]

There was a guy on Thursday who called Randi Rhodes' show
and told her that when he called The Oregonian and asked
why their coverage of the Downing Street Memo was so
scanty, they said, "It's not news."

I wrote to to the Public Editor at The Oregonian and gave
him a ration of shit about this. He got defensive with me,
but said he'd take my concerns to the editorial board about
why the paper itself hasn't take a position on the memo.

Then I called Thom Hartmann's local program on KPOJ on Friday
and told him about the call to Randi and my conversation with
the Public Editor.

Hartmann got up in arms about this, and talked about it
for the rest of his show on Friday.

I guess we got under the Public Editor's skin, because his
column today was full of rationalizations about how the paper's
coverage has been okay.

Will have to see what Thom has to say tomorrow.
