If There’s One Thing…
By Mitch Berg
…you can count on in Minnesota politics, it’s that the Twin Cities media will keep an eagle eye on…
…Republican candidates’ kids.
Did Mark Dayton fall off the wagon in the past two years? How severe are his alcoholism and depression? How far down will Dayton have to push his definition of “the Rich” to close the deficit, and what’ll be the opportunity costs of doing this in the middle of a terrible recession?
Who the hell knows? Not Minnesota’s voters!
Because the media can’t spare a few moments from “covering” a 20 year old careless driving conviction and a 20 year old kid’s stupid college drinking photos.
Thanks, KARE11! Keep scouring Facebook. You truly do Know What Matters™.

I always get the impression that John Croman does these sorts of stories because he’s the kind of guy who never got invited to any college parties.

Could be worse. Could be WDFL with DFL Don Shelby shaking his head.l

Remind anybody of 2008? Bristol and Trig Palin? It’s an old, tired tactic.

They were all over Rod Grams’ kid too. The Minnesota media have standards. Two of them, in fact.
