The Statesman was complaining about transparency last week and we still haven’t seen them come clean on their lies. WP2 is still waiting for them to admit the Hank Brown interviews were purposely left out to mislead readers with their “lies of omission.”
WP2 predicted back in December that Popkey’s two-year witch hunt on Larry Craig was all about trying to win a Pulitzer. They didn’t win it (the fact that they were even a finalist makes the Pulitzer Committee suspect), but they have been trying to use it as a promotion gimmick in their masthead. It has been to little avail since they admitted their circulation is down to 62,000. It was over 68,000 four years ago. With circulation dropping like a rock in what has been one of the fastest growing markets in the U.S. we can see why they are panicked in their house of cards.
Stapilus, Boise Guardian and the Pulitzer committee should all investigate our previous post. WP2 did the work for you, now let others know…unless you agree with this kind of shabby journalism.
