After writing my previous post on this topic, something occurred to me. I had spoken at length on several occasions with Rona Marech the reporter who wrote “Unsettled by Resettlement” in today’s Baltimore Sun. She was very interested in Refugee Resettlement Watch and the role it has played in the controversy in Hagerstown. We also talked about the many complex aspects of refugee resettlement in general. But, she wrote not one word about this blog or what we discussed. Instead she followed the laughable politically correct template for issues like this one. My only conclusion can be that the Baltimore Sun, like most newspapers in America, knows the threat bloggers are to their very existence. Eventually people will get all of their news from TV and internet sources. So, duh, of course they aren’t going to give free advertising to bloggers doing more investigative work than they do.
I plan to have Part III tomorrow.
