You’ve no doubt noticed - my NARN colleague Michael Brodkorb’s role in derailing the Al Franken senate campaign made it to the Sunday New York Times.
The Times’ writer, Monica Davey, made what seemed to be a game effort at conveying the Minnesota political blog scene, including a half-hour interview with me a few weeks ago that covered primarily the Minnesota Organization of Bloggers and, of course, True North, my other blog. She seemed genuinely curious - and, within the constraints of space, did a decent job of getting at least some of the basics across.
The good news? I got into the Times.
The bad news? From our half-hour conversation, this was the quote she ran:
“We’ve kind of got a center of gravity going on up here,” said M\
itch Berg, one in a group that started a “True North” Web site in 2007.
“…going on up here?”
Oy. Good thing I didn’t say “Ja, sure, you betcha”, too.
Anyway - Kudos, Michael!
And Scott Johnson gives some of the anti-climactic background to the whole NARN saga…
