Apropos Not Much
By Mitch Berg
Just a couple of random points, given without any real reason.
Really.
- I don’t control who writes at True North. I am part of the eight-member ruling Junta that makes those calls. I have never made a unilateral decision of any kind – over content, design, direction, naming – at True North, much less one over removing a post or a writer. Not once. Ever.
- If there’s a person anywhere who has less power at True North, it’s my friend and former NARN colleague Michael Brodkorb from Minnesota Democrats Exposed. Michael has never been involved with the inner workings at True North. Never.
So anyone who says that “Michael Brodkorb and Mitch Berg teamed up…” to do anything at True North is – I’ll be diplomatic, since that’s what I do – mistaken the first time they say it. I’m willing to set ’em straight.
A second time? That’s just making stuff up.
Again, I’m just speaking hypothetically. It came to me in a dream.
That’s is all.
UPDATE: Since Politics In Minnesota opted to feature the post that I’m answering with this article, I might as well say it; I’m responding to an inaccurate contention by Col. Joe Repya over at Eagle’s Nest. It’s related to a flap that happened last winter, which I fully and accurately explained in this posting on True North.
I’m also disappointed that Col. Repya felt the need to resort to name-calling – especially inasmuch as calling me an apologist for the MNGOP establishment is just plain absurd.
Michael Brodkorb’s a friend of mine; but it’s also a matter of record that we’ve disagreed strenuously over quite a few things. But facts are facts; Brodkorb makes no editorial decisions at True North, and never has.
One is entitled to his own opinion, not one’s own facts.

I always wanted to be part of a junta.
The closest that I ever came was dating a girl named Juanita.

Please note: Juanita is not my sister.

As much as I’m inclined to sympathize with Repya’s aims, his credibility drops more and more every time he opens his mouth
