Dogwalk Musings: Us Against Them

Item: Us against them /Dogwalk Musings

It was, however, cause to re-look at this morning’s copy of each more closely. Yep. The main story in the CDA Press is touting the news that Good Morning America is going to be in town to cover the Holiday Light Show as part of a series featuring the best light displays across the country. Wow! Such excitement. How small town! Right. It’s fun. Absolute fun. Other front page stories covered an improved 911 system, the disturbing resignations at a clinic that serves the un- and under insured of the area and how the United Way is having trouble meeting its goals. All stories vital to our community here in northern Idaho!/ Dogwalk Musings .

DFO: Mari, before you jump on the Brand X bandwagon, you need to consider a coupla things. One, I, as a 23-year resident of Coeur d’Alene, ran OrangeTV’s clever post in my print column. I take full credit for the post. The Spokesman-Review wasn’t picking on anyone. Brand X didn’t automatically become a better paper simply because Black Thursday occurred at the SR CDA office. Secondly, I posted the resignation of Dr. Rosseau on the day it happened. While you’re touting Brand X, you might want to ask yourself where was the coverage of KEA/IDEQ concerns about Hagadone’s Blackwell Island plans and the probable campaign finance violations by anti-LCDCers Kathy Sims and Tom Macy late in the recent elections. Brand X is good for fluff stories like the “Good Morning, America” piece. But you’ll still need the SR (which will gain another reporter in the CDA office soon) and HBO for the rest of the story.
