While the Democrat Party was enjoying two of the biggest events they’ve had in Idaho over the last two decades, their Executive Director was not having any fun at all. With a new Democrat Party Chairman in place and other turnover you’d think the Statesman would examine why their Executive Director was fired.
It couldn’t be because Walter Minnick’s wife is reinvolved in the party and wanted her person in position to help Walter become a Congressman. If you’d like to see what you would get with Minnick just check out the Sun Valley online publication and your eyes will pop out. By the way, is Sun Valley in the 1st Congressional District?
On Otter and McGwartney:
Don’t think this story is over. One of the Statesman staffers who has seen Dan Popkey’s file on this story tells wp2 that the file is several inches thick. I have no doubt that we’ll see more stories about the “trophy wives” and anything else distasteful Dan can bring up.
Greg Hahn:
What happened to Greg Hahn. Statesman insiders say he was pushed to an editor’s position to save his job. A pitty. One of the few decent writers left at the Statesman.
D vs R coverage:
Just look at how the Statesman covered the Democrat events vs one of the biggest Republican events in Ada county this year with one of the most well know columnists in the world. How embarrassing for the Statesman.

While he’ll post other blogs on his website he won’t mention ours even though we get more hits in a week than he gets in a month. Come on, Kevin, let readers see what others really think about your newspaper.
Follow the money
How are those stock prices Statesman, circulation, etc? I’ve noticed that your circulation giveaway people are still hauling stacks of papers away every day because they can’t even give your paper away.

Maybe you can share why Popkey has been able to keep his job. I don’t no anyone behind the scenes that likes, or respects him. Even the Dems refer to him as a “dirty little bottom feeder”. So, if conservatives hate him and liberals don’t like, or respect him, does he have photos of his boss with a farm animal or what?

I agree CYCLOPS. If I was a reporter at the Statesman I would ask how come Dan Pop still gets paid. He DOES NOT WORK!
When was the last time he wrote anything? The paper says he is supposed to write 2 columns a week and I have not seen jack squat from him.
Of course what he has written is only about GOP’ers.
I think most reporters at the Statesman would be happy to make a full salary just for following “hunches” and sporadically writing lies based on anonymous sources.
