IFF Online Mag To Ignore Obama

Idaho Reporter, the online information arm of Idaho Freedom Foundation explains why it won’t cover President Obama’s speech at Boise State today:

President Barack Obama will speak at Boise State University later today, certainly a newsworthy event for all Idahoans, regardless of political beliefs. IdahoReporter.com, though, won’t be there. We think we have a pretty good reason for that. Anytime a sitting president visits Idaho, it’s important. He’ll highlight important advancements at Boise State University and rehash some of the content of last night’s State of the Union address. We think, though, the speech won’t matter as much as some of the happenings of the Idaho Legislature. While President Obama is discussing raising taxes on millions of Americans, a proposal surely to die a quick death in the Republican-controlled Congress, we’ll be covering the Idaho Senate Local Government and Taxation Committee, where legislators will actually consider a tax increase on Idahoans.
