I'm generally trying to stay out of the Congressional campaign but I think the Times-Picayune's treatment of the Green Party entry is unnecessary or lazy or something in a way that annoys me.
It's one thing to inaccurately report the campaign finance figures but what is really annoying to me is this established meme that Malik Rahim is "little-known."
I don't think that's accurate or fair. Malik Rahim has international name recognition in some circles and has been very involved locally, regardless of how you feel about his level of effectiveness.
To repeat the meme, as the Times-Picayune has done, is pretty lazy.
And I think it's pretentious, too.
There are some pretty compelling stories out there about Rahim.
