Lost Coast Outpost could have called me but since basic journalism isn't their strong suit, here are the facts

The letter provided to me did not have a confidential stamp on it. I redacted the names at County PIO Sean Quincey's request. I shouldn't have and stuck to the original version of the letter with the three names.


I have my email communications with Sean Quincey saved.

Sean Quincey told me it was a confidential document but provided no such proof. Why didn't he send me a confidential file stamped copy the day my post came out to compare to what I had?

If the letter is confidential, why did the County release the letter now to other local media?


Lost Coast Outpost could have emailed me and asked for an explaination but instead they did what they usually do, throw accusations without facts.  

Just like they never bothered to call Joe Mellet.

Lost Coast Outpost has no idea who gave me the letter because it is none of their business who my source is. Sources are confidential. Real journalists know that.

LOCO sure knows how to give me credit when it suits their agenda. Surprising, they fail to do that at any other time in giving me credit on scooping them on a regular basis.

Readers are savvy enough to see through LOCO's attempts to create drama and a story out of nothing.

Must be hard on LOCO. With four full time staffers they do not really put out any news of substance and get scooped by other media outlets on a regular basis, including me.

Too bad they can't spend more time moderating their comment section with hateful comments on jews, blacks, and others on a regular basis instead of trying to create much ado about nothing.

  1. I read the comments, someone said you are being paid by multiple candidates. Is that true?

    1. Kendall, first of all, on LOCO, there is a lot said about me that isn't true. However, as to your question, yes I did consulting work for both Ryan and Virginia's campaign. I disclosed that on my blog long before the financial forms came out. It is no different than Joel Meilke working for Maggie Fleming's campaign. This is a small town. There are many such instances. I am not going to engage in dirty tactics, I leave the mudslinging to LOCO. Ryan Burns had the gall to ask Ryan Sundberg why he hired me. Because I am good at what I do. I have to make a living. Unlike LOCO trolls, I use my name, I am upfront. Is it being paid when LOCO does PR work for Green Road Consulting then does a inaccurate story on them being busted? Is it paid work when Greg Rael used to advertise with LOCO right after they hired his wife to cover courts? Funny, how that ad went away? Is it paid work when Patrick Cleary of Lost Coast Communications hires former staffers of the North Coast Journal to do hit pieces on certain political people while never questioning Natalie Arroyo, Kim Bergel, Austin Allison, Mike Wilson. LOCO should do a better job reporting the news. Funny, I didn't hear anyone questioning how certain writers got "information" or the scoop when Mark Lovelace was in office. Leftie LOCO is all talk. They are racist, transphobic for their continuous attempts to mudsling at me and desperate publication for going after the only independent reporter in town. I work hard and people trust me. And, I said what I needed to in my post. Kendall, you never use your name. In future, verify who you are. I have read your previous comments. There is no story here other than LOCO trying to create one.
