Rangeling the Truth: The News the Statesman Chose Not To Report

The Idaho Statesman reported Walt Minnick was returning money he got from Charlie Rangel.

The average reader of the Statesman could reasonably ask, “Wait, Charlie Rangel gave Minnick money? When did that happen?” This was news the Idaho Statesman didn’t care to share with its readers.  I covered this extensively in September of 2008. The Statesman reads the blog, but they opted to ignore the story.

Compare this to the media’s attempt to transform Club for Growth into the Illumanati and you see where their bias lies. However, I told you Rangel was bad news and that he’d taken money from Rangel, and he held onto the money while other politicians like Senator Mark Begitch (D-Ak.) returned it. The Statesman had a partisan interest in defeating Congressman Sali that led them to ignore exploring these links, and they claim to be providing fair news coverage. They intentionally hid this information from voters.

And Congressman Minnick has returned money directly from Rangel’s PAC, Minnick doesn’t want to return money that Rangel raised for him. So be it. He can keep that tainted money in his treasury until he cleans out his office this December.
