What about pro-choice Capito?

by: Carnacki

Wed Apr 13, 2011 at 17:45:15 PM EDT


Jared Hunt of the Charleston Daily Mail wrote a lengthy story about the pros and cons of Secretary of State Natalie Tennant receiving the endorsement of Emily's List without once mentioning that Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito receives the endorsement and contributions from the Republican pro-choice group WISH List.

According to the WISH List FAQ:

The WISH List -- which stands for Women In the Senate and HouseĀ® -- raises money to identify, train, support and elect more Republican women leaders to public office at all levels of government. WISH is America's largest fundraising network for pro-choice Republican women candidates!

You'd think in a story how the endorsement of a pro-choice group might help or hurt a candidate in West Virginia that Hunt would point out how it hasn't hurt Capito.

Was Hunt ignorant of Capito or was this just more slanted coverage from the right wing Daily Mail? Either way it really looks bad for the Daily Mail.

For Capito, being pro choice has never hurt.

For the record, Acting Senate President is NOT pro-choice, he is pro-life, and has been repeatedly endorsed as such by the West Virginians for Life, and has sponsored pro-life legislation. Do you just pull stuff out of your hat and report it, Mr. Hunt?

"For the record?"
I'm beginning to think StraightshooterWV IS Jeff Kessler.


it's slanted coverage (4.00 / 1)
does anyone expect the DM to run anything favorable on Natalie?  She's Tomblin's biggest competition and this is a hit piece on her.  

typical (4.00 / 1)
Not a shock that this kind of hackneyed "journalism" would come from the same paper that has a birther writing its editorials
