Beating a Dead Horse

| October 27, 2016 1:00 AM

Despite the official investigation into the allegations of the spokesperson for the Idaho Democratic Party about harassment, the Democrats continue to push this false narrative. The Bonner County Sheriff published the results of his reports, no harassment was found and yet a number of “news” organizations continue to spin this same story in new ways. The Bonner County Prosecutor, Lewis Marshall, stated that there were no charges filed by the Sheriff’s office, no charges were referred to the A.G. by the Prosecutors office, the A.G. was not asked to investigate or look into complaints of voter intimidation as the Idaho Statesman implied. The insinuations and lack of due diligence on the part of those who claim to report the news is beyond the pale. It is a sad state of affairs when media, with a clear political agenda, think nothing of manipulating facts and creating word gymnastics to further their agenda.
