JillK: New West, IFF Are Different

But it all comes down to the fact that NewWest.Net does not advocate for anything. There is a difference between “advocate” and “opine.” Our opinion columns may endorse a particular point of view, but we would never go to a state legislature and try to influence legislation or a legislator. That’s the bottom line difference between the two organizations, because the IdFreedomFoundation does exactly that. And yes, NewWest.Net is a member of the Capitol Correspondents. This is our fourth year as members, and I am on the standing committee. We are also members of the Idaho Press Club, and have won some significant awards/ Jill Kuraitis , New West. More here .

DFO: Jill is discussing the debate we had here Feb. 1 re: the decision by the Capital Correspondents Association to reject the membership request of conservative Idaho Freedom Foundation.

Question: Do you agree/disagree with Jill’s comment?
