Ms. Cohen,
As the announcement that Michael Castle will be running for the US Senate draws closer, we, your fellow Delaware Political bloggers, urge you to address some concerns we have regarding the objectivity of your reporting.
Specifically, we want you to disclose who is funding your work at www.Delwaregrapvine.com and how much they are paying for coverage on your blog. We think that this would go a long way toward settling questions about your credibility.
We also think that you should disclose any agreements, formal or otherwise, that you’ve struck with your sponsors regarding the content and tone of your forthcoming reporting. Again, knowing up front that Mike Castle has paid “X” dollars for your favorable coverage during an election year would help rebuild your reputation for forthrightness.
Everyone needs to make a living, so we have no problem with whatever financial agreements that you have entered into with Pete DuPont, Charlie Copeland, Tom Carper and Mike Castle. All we desire on behalf of Delawareans who are not familiar with your financial relationships is transparency.
Sincerely,
Jason330
