If the mass media ever did its job, Brad Friedman could go back to his former
life, the one before 2004 when election scandals became his full-time
vocation...
We're greatly appreciative of Campana's coverage. Not only because he's very
kind to us, but because --- as a total of four of his stories filed over the
last two days reveal --- he has actually done what so few corporate journalists
seem able to do today: Actual journalism.
Before we saw the piece mentioned above today, we had kind words about his coverage yesterday of the wholly under-reported Hart InterCivic federal fraud suit.
But beyond that detailed piece, his follow-up story today and "related coverage"
offered on both days has been top-notch. Here are links to each of his stories
today and yesterday...
- Did

Unsealed federal lawsuit reignites eSlate
debate - Election

Sunday:
- Silent
fight over voting machines:

trying to get word out - The

Monday:
That, ladies and gentlemen, is what journalism is supposed to
look like. And yes, if we had a few more hundred (we'd settle for a few more
dozen) like Campana, we'd be more than thrilled to go back to what we
were doing prior to falling into this remarkable American Nightmare. We look
forward to the day we can take down our shingle entirely and leave all of
the heavy lifting to folks like him who actually get paid to do this stuff.
