UPDATE 7:40 p.m.: Mike Donila contacted me almost immediately. He had not previously seen this blog post. He has suggested linking to my 2/7/2011 blog post, which is a GREAT cooperative gesture that he did not have to do. He and I both agree this rumor has been out there for a year and escalated after the November 2010 election.

Mike Donila of the News Sentinel at his personal blog posted this today. On February 7, Brian’s Blog posted this concerning the election commission shake-up. Again, this demonstrates that the main stream media come to Brian’s Blog for the story before they do a story.
