POWERLINE TRIPLE PLAY: Tinker steps on third, fires to Evers at second who relays to Chance at first?. No, but Scott Johnson once again outs his local left-wing rag, The Minneapolis Star Tribune on behalf of a friend.
From Part 1: “Kevin Roche: My Struggle With The Star Tribune: “Kevin Roche was general counsel of UnitedHealth Group in Minneapolis, then founder and CEO of its Ingenix division. Since leaving UnitedHealth he has invested in and sat on the boards of a number of health care companies…”
The issue:
Kevin wrote a column on the current Coronavirus panic that he sought to place as an advertisement in the Star Tribune on Monday. He titled the column STOP THE ECONOMIC SUICIDE. It is consistent with much of what we have written on Power Line and is well within the scope of respectable opinion, yet Kevin has not yet succeeded in placing the ad.
The struggle to understand why his opinion ad was rejected continues in Part 2 and Part 3.
But the kicker, a Part 3 update: “Kevin advises that the Star Tribune accepted his ad this morning (“not sure why”).”
Heh. Read the email exchanges between Roche and the newspaper’s reps and you’ll know why they caved. Now, when will the Star Tribune honestly report on Ilhan Omar’s crimes?
