KKOB and Republicans

The Albuquerque Journal tells only parts of the story.  They tell about Republicans complaining to KKOB and a news anchor quitting.   

Laura MacCallum, afternoon drive-time news anchor for KKOB (770-AM) radio, abruptly quit last week after station management pulled a story she produced concerning the Republican Party delegate nominating convention in Bernalillo County.    The story was broadcast three times last Wednesday, prompting complaints from the state Republican Party and one of its campaigns.

The end - thus illustrating the point of who calls the shots in our little town.      

::Stares at empty lawn where afternoon daily once rested.  Heaves huge sigh::.

Dennis Domrzalski's blog coverage is complete.  Sometimes completely over the top, but complete.   

By the week’s end, Wilson’s campaign admitted that it had paid the convention entrance fees for five people. But it was too late. They had already shot themselves in the head.  The would-be empire and Wilson’s campaign behaved like the power-obsessed elitists they are, and it backfired. The blogosphere hit back. The gatekeepers in the traditional media were blown away.

It isn’t all bad, though, for the non-answering Cheshire and the GOP smear-job operatives. With their abusive, sleazy and self-destructive tactics they’ve proven themselves worthy.  Worthy of jobs in Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Blogger-on-fire but his misogyny wafts through to my monitor like strong cheese.    

Here is Dennis with Nicole in the Eye on New Mexico part two segment  in which Republican Pat Rogers puts on a pathetic display attempting to insult and discredit former Governor Dave Cargo.  Cargo first dared to made noise about Heather Wilson's campaign tactics.  Pat attempts to administer party punishment and Cargo is having none of it. 

Does Pat not remind you of the other "Mr. Rogers" in a weird-scary way?

Wonder why it took so long for the Journal to write about this...

The Journal story was published almost a full week after the story broke...
