Dept of Freaking Out Over Kentucky Central. Another news agency opens their coverage of the Kentucky Central non-scandal with an introductory paragraph that could be considered critical of Beshear. Everyone continues to freak out over the Herald-Leader. What is it with people who can’t handle critical stories? [C-J]
600lb gorilla in the room: Ernest Lee. Crowley says that if Trey goes down it’s Ernie Fletcher’s fault. [Enquirer]
There’s still a race going on. Day 4 of the CNHI Gubernatorial reader forum takes on transparency with taxpayers’ money. We’re disappointed that both candidates have to continually bring up wedge issues. [Daily Times]
The deciding vote. 100+ union members took over Northern Kentucky Saturday. They spent their time canvassing two counties in support of Democratic candidates. Fletcher continues to oppose organized labor. [Enquirer]
Religious wars. Roger Alford explores the gubernatorial battle on Christian radio. We’ll let you guess which candidate is using wedge issues to scare that crowd. Also will leave it up to you to guess which candidate doesn’t know how to stop referring to himself in the third-person. [H-L]

The Herald Leader
There has been much criticism of Ryan Alesi regarding the Kentucky Central story which has been lingering for several weeks. Hopefully, now that CLARITY exists this story will not have the steam it caused initially.
Posters take on Ryan A, for this report. To say Alesi is working for Fletcher, or anything that might reflect his professional ability as a good journalist, IMO, is just not true. We knew there would be a PUSH BACK on the Beshear Kentucky Central affair as there were numerous post on the blogs prior to Beshear being nominated. The GOP had this information all along, some genius in Ernst office; got the idea the campaign could spin this one into a story questioning STEVE B. ethics. Ryan looked into it and found some questionable things that needed clarification. Thus the Herald and the Courier requested of the court, the opening of this file.
There were events, in the report that could have been handled differently, by Beshear, but in my gut, I do not feel, from the reports I read, Steve Beshear acted inappropriately.
And Ryan Alesi is still a good reporter and I look forward to both he and John Stamper keeping us posted so that we may react to that which we fell lacks substance.
viva le blogs!
