How much damage has been done?

Steve Harrison's post about Kim Strach deserves more than a passing mention. It deserves a full-fledged investigation into the possibility of collusion between Kim Strach and Tom Fetzer's NCGOP. As I wrote back in June:
Does anybody besides me think it's unseemly that the NC GOP's legal counsel, Phil Strach, is married to Kim Strach, deputy director of the Campaign Finance Division of the North Carolina's Board of Elections? Could that explain why Fetzer always seems to have the inside track when it comes to getting his way with the SBOE? I'm still waiting for the N&O to write that "strange bedfellows" story.
Why this perverted situation has been allowed to go on over the past year is mind-boggling, and we'll probably never know how much damage has been done. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to find out.
Stop trying to report news, you silly blogger
Don't you know that the MSM has real business to deal with?
Like cry how their taxpayers funded work product somehow isn't as subject to sunshine as a state trooper's text messages?
Leave the NC GOP and the MSM alloooooonnnneee!!!!!
Good connection
of some important dots.
This story has gone unattended for months, purposeful ignorance if you ask me. And yet, the MSM can't seem to stop going ga-ga over the fact that UNC-TV responded to a demand from the legislature for in Alcoa-gate. Jack Betts even weighed in on Saturday with a weak-kneed blog post full of crocodile tears about UNC-TV's independence as a journalistic enterprise. He obviously hasn't spent any time at UNC-TV. Everyone who works there knows the station is about as far from "independent" as you can get and still claim to be in the news business.
Do good. Be nice. Have fun.
