Wisconsin: In Press Conference, Walker Only Gets Only One Question Regarding John Doe Scandal

Our bought-and-paid-for "free press" at work ...

Governor Scott Walker recently held a press conference with Wisconsin reporters.

The first three questions were not about the John Doe scandal.

Finally, seven minutes into the press conference, Mary Spicuzza of the Wisconsin State Journal asked John Doe-related question of whether or not his staff is allowed to use private emails to conduct official goverment business. Two reporters then followed-up with details on this question.

Walker then said, "These aren't the droids your looking for," and the reporters quickly moved onto another topic.

Grr. Super frustrating.

I know the Milwaukee (Waukesha) Journal-Sentinel is wholly in Walker's pocket, but I always hope there are some responsible journalists out there.

It's not going to get any press until he's indicted. If I could cross my fingers any harder I would. He is as dirty as a hog in a hole, and manages not to be held accountable for any of it. He just smirks his way through.
