We hadn’t noticed it, but last week Paul Krugman over at the NY Times<\/i><\/a> picked up on our original exclusive report<\/a> on DoJ Voting Chief John Tanner’s recent comments saying while it’s a “shame” that the elderly are, in fact, disenfranchised by Photo ID restrictions at the polling place — like the one that he approved on behalf of the Department’s Civil Rights Division in Georgia — he’s less worried about minorities being disenfranchised because “minorities don’t become elderly. The way that white people do. They die first.”
\n<\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object>Unfortunately, Krugman credited our friends at TPM Muckraker for the story, even though their story<\/a> followed up on, and properly credited, ours. Krugman’s comments were in his NYTimes<\/em> blog and we hope he’ll cover the important matter in his regular column as well. Though if he does, we’d appreciate it if, like Al Kamen’s coverage at WaPo<\/i><\/a>, he offered appropriate attribution where it’s due.<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, it matters<\/a>, and not just for our own ego.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Amy Goodman at Democracy Now<\/i> today<\/a> also picked up on the story (see the short video above left<\/i>) and gave The BRAD BLOG<\/a> the appropriate credit. Her coverage also included some of the video that our own Alan Breslauer posted here originally.<\/p>\n

Thanks Amy! And thanks Alan<\/em> for posting Amy’s video here. There now, was that so hard?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
