Miller might be a nice person with a family that loves her, but her story on Ad-gate is just a horrible piece of journalism which equates Jack Markell’s legitimate grievance related to the misappropriation of our donations to the state Democratic party with John Carney’s transparently bullshit damage control.
Obviously, the problems at the News Journal extend beyond Miller – but she really dropped the ball on this story which shines a spot-light on the corrupt innerworks of the out of touch cabal that runs the Delaware Democratic Party. Istead she prints a verbatim statement from John Daniello justifying the misappropriation of our money under the pretext that John Carney is a swell guy.
A Story Within A Story
In Miller’s abortion of a news story she also burried some significant news. Karen Peterson has dumped John Carney. Peterson’s statement is significant and should have run as a side bar OR since it is itself news – should have been a stand alone story.
The section reads:
Carney has lost the endorsement of Sen. Karen E. Peterson, D-Stanton, though Peterson wrote Carney a letter this week to explain why she was switching her support to Markell.
“I had done some soul searching and came to a difficult decision…,” she said. “he had assured me that he would distance himself from the Minner administration in public ways and my support was contingent on that. I don’t see that happening.”
Peterson said Carney is also taking too much credit for the Blue Water Wind Deal
I guess that didn’t merit it’s own story because Carney could not roll out some bullshit damage control in time.
