The trifecta is complete. The Courier, East Cobb News and MDJ have all been criticized in the past week for liberal bias and propaganda with regard to the Post 4 BOE race. If that doesn’t demonstrate that people only want to hear what they want hear, I don’t know what does.

It’s notable that Ragsdale abstained on board of health position saying he didn’t have the statement in advance. Then Scamihorn is quoted in MDJ saying “both sides” should have been presented. Where was that consideration for Davis, Howard, Hutchins re: Taylor English law firm?
