This was in the Post? I couldn’t find it between the front page news about dead horses, counterfeit purses, and philandering priests. You know – the important stuff.

I’d hope we all would, Wayan.

Whoa, Tom, you expect a politician to have a “principled debate in the public sphere”? Oh that’s good!

Is it really shrewd to drown out the voices of your opposition instead of having a principled debate in the public sphere?

It has nothing to do with the number of Post reporters and everything to do with news priorities. The School Board is an incremental change while the shootings are hot news.

Fenty will get front page, School Board will not, and if you re-read the DC Wire, there were enough reporters for both.

So I’m inclined to go with DC Wire – this was shrewd Fenty PR.
