In that case, you would be screaming about the "negative press" she was giving "her husband's opponent". THAT'S why she chose (correctly) to avoid the conflict-of-interest by LEAVING HIM OUT OF THE ARTICLE ALTOGETHER. <br /><br />The only "conflict of interest" occurred in you fetid imagination. <br /><br />Recording video footage of a candidate who is appearing at a public event does not constitute "opposition research". Unless this meeting was a closed session discussing campaign strategy, or some deep, dark secret that Josh Mandel may be hiding, there was nothing Connie Schultz could have uncovered that was not also witnessed (or recorded) by anyone else at that PUBLIC event. <br /><br />Clearly, you don't understand journalistic ethics, nor the meaning of "conflict of interest" or "opposition research", for that matter. <br /><br />And by the way, it has not exactly been a secret that Connie Schultz is married to Sherrod Brown. At least, not to literate citizens of Northeast Ohio who read newspapers, particularly the Plain Dealer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-1420696236804254772011-09-08T14:11:31.804-04:002011-09-08T14:11:31.804-04:00I find the fact that the Plain Dealers "Fact ...I find the fact that the Plain Dealers "Fact checks" comments made about things said about her husband.

A quick search of the PD website shows that Schultz consistently champions causes of the Dem party. The fact that her bio doesn't disclose that she is married to a sitting senator makes a mockery of the profession of journalism.Paula Bolyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567777774272590296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-41136424634844334462011-09-08T13:04:53.389-04:002011-09-08T13:04:53.389-04:00my dear anonymous I sincerly doubt you could even ...my dear anonymous I sincerly doubt you could even lift his rucksack, much less carry it on patrol in Iraq.<br />If all you've got is his youthful appearance you're just about par for the liberal commenter course. <br /><br />Basically, you got nothing.
