Deep Background for August 30 – September 5, 2009
Some controversy has been ignited in local cyberspace in recent days regarding the lack of coverage and focus on news events.
The revelation of perceived pressure by Bush Administration cabinet members on then Secretary of Homeland Security and Erie native Tom Ridge in the secretary’s new book created a firestorm inside the beltway and on cable news, but was thought to be treated lightly in the Erie media. To a similar degree, at least one commenter on P&T thinks that the establishment and new media downplayed Dan Galena’s win in court over his First Amendment rights at County Council meetings.
The beauty of Deep Background is that we exercise our rights of free speech and the press here in this open forum.
