Hoeffel ‘announces’
Montgomery County Commissioner Joe Hoeffel used a quote from our interview for his Facebook page, and since the little guy can’t get any credit, naturally, that’s being reported as his “announcement.”
Forgive the sour grapes.
It’s early.

I don’t blame you, it is rude. Not to mention, this makes them two days late to the story, if only they had been willing to credit you. That’s very telling that they are willing to sacrifice a noteworthy political story instead of crediting new media.
I admit, I don’t read the Philly papers because their websites are terrible for anything other than day old news. I rarely see updates throughout the day other than sports. If there is breaking news in the area, I find more information on blogs, tv sites, and the national outlets. Forget the “keep it local” PR campaign, they should create an internal campaign to keep it relevant and timely.

Way to push back. These guys go nowhere without the media. He just lost my vote.

To clarify, my poorly expressed sour grapes are directed at larger media organizations, not Hoeffel.
