Kansas City Star Political Coverage Now: Mostly DNC Talking Points

I know it's Friday night and nobody cares . . . But . . . C'mon man.

The newspaper filed two late stories that are nothing more than political posturing . . . Which is fine with a bit of balance or even fun. They have neither.

And so . . . We share TKC news links to dead-tree media still desperately looking for their role in the world of instant Internets communication . . .

Eric Schmitt's campaign tried to get ad featuring woman denied abortion pulled from air

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt's campaign for U.S. Senate last week sent a cease-and-desist letter to a cable provider demanding the company remove a television ad that featured a woman describing how she was denied a medical abortion because of the state's ban. The letter was addressed to Spectrum Reach, which covers a broad swath of Missouri.

Seriously . . . A Missouri prog blog did cover this better, with far more detail and more honesty . . . Because nobody should mistake their progressive slant which readers agree to when reading often very informative material.

And of course . . . The Star has always had a vendetta against Kris Kobach . . .
