The Staunton NewsLeader pulled it off this past week and managed a “Tri-fecta” in it’s avoidance of “Republican” related events in one week in it’s own backyard…
First “News stand” award goes to avoiding the Augusta County Republican meeting held at the Government Center in Verona on Tuesday. Republican State Senator Emmett Hanger and Challenger Scott Sayre spoke of the upcoming election race and the primary on June 12th. NBC29 and the Waynesboro NewsVirginian were in attendance and Bob Stuart of the NewsVirginian wrote this description of the nights activities: http://newsvirginian.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=WNV/MGArticle/WNV_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1149193565601&path=
Staunton NewsLeader? Nothing…
Second “News stand” award goes to missing the “Media Day” event that Republican State Senate Candidate Scott Sayre held at his business in Buena Vista. This event invited the media to come in and meet with the Candidate at his place of business and to obtain information on history, Issues, and intentions if elected. The NewsVirginian once again reported this local Republican event: http://view.atdmt.com/NYC/iview/dvrtmvcd0300000002nyc/direct;wi.160;hi.600/01?click=http://servedby.advertising.com/click/site=0000725906/mnum=0000414611/optn=64?trg=
as well did other local media organizations.
Staunton NewsLeader? Nada…
The Third “News stand” award comes from totally avoiding and not reporting the visit of the Republican Virginia Lt. Governor Bill Bolling to Staunton on Saturday. Lt. Governor Bolling came to Mrs. Rowes to have breakfast with local Republicans and constituents and to talk of the recent session in Richmond. The Lt. Governor spoke of many issues that concern Virginia Citizens and the Transportation issue and fiscal responsibility were discussed in detail. Again NBC29 was present and took video for news program coverage and the Harrisonburg Daily News-Record reported the Republican event in it’s coverage at: http://dnronline.com/news_details.php?AID=9220&CHID=2
Staunton NewsLeader? Zilch…
But they do get the coveted “Tri-fecta” award…
