This week's Montgomery Independent includes an editorial that alleges Alabama Governor Bob Riley personally tried to influence a judge or judges on the Alabama Supreme Court in regard to a gambling issue the state had filed before that court. It's a fascinating read. But I am curious about the use of an editorial to tell the story, rather than a out-and-out news story, perhaps with an accompanying editorial. I'll let you be the judge whether that means anything, but again, an interesting story that begs comment from the Riley Administration.

What's most interesting is that the Chief Justice assisted the newspaper in its reporting. The editorial says the paper contacted her and asked her to "circulate" its question to the other justices -- and she did. Why? Is part of her job to help Milton McGregor's paper in its neverending efforts to try to slime Riley?
ReplyDeleteIt is not unusual for editorial writers to do their own reporting without regard to what the news side does or doesn't do.
