Rep. Don Young (R-AK) keeps it real on Foleygate. From The Frontiersman ...

The news media didn’t escape criticism from Young, who said Wednesday the destruction of those in public office by newspapers and television is a disgrace. He added that most media these days will stop at nothing to find fault with an individual in public office or running in an election.

“A person can be the cleanest individual, but has a brother who likes to run with sheep,” Young said, adding that those who haven’t grown up on a farm might not know what that means.

After Young’s speech, he clarified his statement by saying television media deserves most of the blame for scaring people out of running for public office. The constant barrage of news is something Young said distorts peoples’ view of what is going on in the world.
