Do that's a nice little payback from flushing your credibility down the drain, isn't it?<br /><br /> They're still trying to bury this story at jsonline. Probably hoping people won't ask why they missed the story- and if reporters were ordered to miss itJake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-30856208424056201582015-03-24T21:56:37.608-05:002015-03-24T21:56:37.608-05:00P.S.

That's all they're willing to do. They should have been the ones to write this but that's too much to expect.<br />I know you aren't keen on commenters criticizing WI media and I understand that reporters only report what they are assigned, but...<br />Reporting at this level is what state papers should have been doing for a long time. I no longer subscribe to the J-S because this is what I expected from them and never got.<br />They have (or had) Pulitzer-level commitment to investigative reporting and have been under-reporting or flat-out ignoring red flags for years, while the editorial board endorses obvious nonsense or excuses it.<br />The fact that we are getting deep reporting from outside of the state, years after the fact, should be cause for embarrassment for our major news organizations.
