34. CA: Contra Costa Times continues campaign finance coverup
The Contra Costa Times continues to allow its political reporter, Lisa Vorderbrueggen, to avoid full disclosure concerning her complete refusal to cover the subornation of the electoral process in Contra Costa County by special interest Independent Expenditures. In an comment (#34) posted on her blog, Lisa Vorderbrueggen does nothing but dissemble and tell tall tales to avoid admitting the truth that she was either played by campaign managers posing as her friends or she is a bent reporter that lets her political bias inform her decisions about what to write about or not.

In her defense for not writing about the fortune being spent by special interests to reelect incumbent Mary Peipho, Vorderbrueggen says:

- she was going to get to it
- she has written hundreds of stories about Independent Expenditures
- her deadline kept her from getting necessary documents
- “professional journalists” don’t work weekends before an important local election
- “I’m just one person”
