As partly noted in a comment by us yesterday…
Let’s not forget what Rostra is…a mostly unedited and largely uncontrolled group of VOLUNTEER bloggers that write what they want and when they want, based on whether they have the time and interest at any one moment. Each opinion is that of the author, individually, not collectively. Collectivism is bad.
There are no “beat reporters,” although we do select contributors based on geographical location within San Diego County, background, and/or access to decent political information. Yes, it is mostly made up of insiders, as we often find them to be knowledgeable about — while having access to — good political information and sources.
Rostra is NOT a source for every potentially newsworthy political story; but a source to provide sometimes otherwise unseen stories, insider takes, breaking news, opinion, and a forum for discussion and debate.
This blog is what a group of varying people make of it, with little direction or oversight from any “editor.” Most readers peruse both the blog postings and the comments, which means the comments can be JUST as important as the actual entry.
If anyone is “surprised” that some news isn’t mentioned, well, they do have an avenue. They can mention it.
As far as the identities of Mighty Thor and me…well, who’s to say we exist at all, or if we’re not the same person, or if we may be more than two? Does it really matter?
