Hugo Chavez and the North Carolina media
Speaking of bias, or perceptions of it, Elizabeth Dole's spokesman unloads on the North Carolina media in comments to National Journal.
(I couldn't access NJ's story, but Dome reports today.)
"Unfortunately, the media in this state is to the left of Hugo Chavez," he said. "I have worked most states east of the Mississippi and a couple on the other side, and I have never seen anything like this."
McLagan's had a reputation as a tough-talking operative, according to this story from a previous job in Georgia.
He's also worked for John McCain, George W. Bush and Oliver North, among others.
Maybe this has been his first experience in North Carolina. Sorry he's had such a rough time.
Seems to me, though, that's part of the problem -- if this is his first experience in North Carolina.
Why wouldn't a senator from North Carolina employ someone more familiar with North Carolina and North Carolina media as a principal spokesman?
I can't say I've heard Hugo Chavez brought into a discussion of North Carolina politics before. Maybe McLagan knows more about him than about the North Carolina media.
Oh, well. What would they say in Venezuela?
Adios.

Strange Bird Doug! I always thought the mainstream media in North Carolina was control by the John Locke foundation. Gosh! I had no idea that those Hugo Chavez Russia battle sea crusiers were off the North Carolina coast to prevent those Oil Companies from drilling.
