Something good to say about Knox County government
Posted By katie allison granju
Knox County Commission candidate John Spellings (who is also one of the clever bloggers behind The Sunsphere is Not a Wigshop) sees something good coming out of the current heated debate over proposed changes to the Knox County charter:
I think Knox County is actually running rather well and here’s why. There has been heated debate, community activism, and lots of attention on an issue that could just be written off as, “Oh well, the good ol’ boys are running amuck again what can you do.” I think that good will come of the many bads that we’ve seen recently and that out of this chaos we will have a more mature and stronger government that the citizenry can depend on.

Is there a pro-Obama slant to media reporting? Jonah Goldberg of the National Review Online explains that this may be a simple by-product of reporters playing nice with the frontrunner. As Goldberg puts it, “most of the reporters covering these campaigns want to be rewarded with White House correspondent jobs.” In general, however, they may just want to be sure that they’ll have easier access to who they figure will be America’s next president. John Harris and Jim VandeHei of Politico have a slightly different view. They report that a study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism (funder by the esteemed Pew Research Center) found that six out of every 10 John McCain stories were negative in slant. Moreover, Obama has had more than twice as many positive stories published. In a video opinion piece, VandeHei points to members of the GOP playing the blame game in the waning moments as a sign that McCain’s campaign has begun to implode. “There’s always pile-on at the end of a campaign,” he says, but in this case, it’s the policies and campaign strategies that have led to McCain’s difficulties. As I see it, journalists love a frontrunner, they favor momentum. That may just be what Obama’s offering them now. It’s the kind of momentum quick cash loans can give your budget when you need it. It’s a great feeling, but remember – it’s only temporary. Will someone other than the frontrunner here bring America lasting change?
