Timing the Sunrise

My friend Jim Minion has been looking at the timing of when the Times-Union broke their investigative reporting on the Sunshine ethics scandal. His basic premise is that the TU timed the release of their journalism for after the spring 2007 elections in order to assist incumbent Councilmembers in their bids for re-election. Further, that the TU went on to endorse incumbents who they had a reasonable suspicion of being law-breakers and public trust-betrayers. The TU responded and you can read all about it today at JaxOutLoud. As someone likes to say: every issue is worth getting into.
