Doug Clark: Politics Trumps Morality
Submitted by James on Wed, 12/12/2007 - 1:40pm.
One could write volumes about the sad state of modern journalism. The collapse of quality and integrity are nothing short of mind-boggling. The collusion of reporters with right wing sources. The gushy pandering of small town newspapers to their hometown favorites. The wholesale swallowing of manufactured opinions by by once great newspapers.
But even against those sorry standards, Doug Clark at the Greensboro News-Record reaches a new low today in a comment he makes about the immigration issue.
Politics trumps whatever your idea of morality is on this issue, and many other issues for that matter.

Submitted by James on Mon, 11/26/2007 - 6:47pm.When a wingnut like Doug Clark at the Greensboro paper says Republican Patrick McHenry has a serious challenger, you should sit up and listen. And that's just what Clark says today about Daniel Johnson. Thanks to Ed Cone for dragging this one up.
Not much has been reported about Johnson's political positions, although the HDR quotes an area Democratic leader as saying he holds moderate-to-conservative views typical of the 10th District. The 10th has been solidly Republican for decades. Jim Broyhill, then Cass Ballenger, held the seat before McHenry.

I'm still not sure I know who the person is who's running the Blust blog or what she plans to do with it.
"It doesn't tell me anything about the potential Republican leadership of this state, anymore than Bluenc fairly characterizes Democratic leaders." Doug Clark Editoral writer Greensboro N&R
