More press releases to come
In response to several comments on my more recent posts (below), I feel I should clarify what we’re doing here.
These are not news articles. These are blog posts.
It can be a confusing distinction, as I do frequently post news articles on the blog (usually with a link to the original story).
But I also post press releases, to give readers a full picture of what’s being said. Usually, you would only see a paragraph or two from a release (if we do anything with it at all), and one of the features of this blog is to give readers more background than they would receive in a news story.
In addition to posting financial records, meeting agendas and other documents, press releases are some of what I called in my very first blog post the “little snippets of the greater debate that historically ended up on the cutting room floor.”
I will always let people know when I’m posting a press release and where it comes from, so they can make the appropriate assumptions about the biases of the statements therein. If we write a full story, I will usually update the post with a link to that as well.
If you disagree with that practice, don’t hesitate to let me know (I’m sure you won’t).

What I find funny is the gentlemen who objected to the press release posting from Mr. Coussoule but not a word on the post just below from his preferred candidate Johnny Do Nothing Boehner.
