Comments on: Skipper Jumps Ship https://boiseguardian.com/2006/07/09/skipper-jumps-ship/ A different slant on the news. Wed, 12 Jul 2006 19:18:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Sisyphus https://boiseguardian.com/2006/07/09/skipper-jumps-ship/#comment-1988 Wed, 12 Jul 2006 19:18:09 +0000 https://boiseguardian.com/wp/?p=370#comment-1988 Interesting that Wayne Hoffman has disrobed from his invisible suit of journalistic integrity he donned as a reporter for the local daily and revealed what he truly is, a shill. He wrote some seriously unflattering pieces on Democrats during campaigns in previous Idaho races when he operated as a political reporter for the local rag.

Yet folks continue to write letters to the editor labelling the Statesman as liberal. The unanswered question is whether he was operating under Republican direction at the time or was just trying to get into their good graces in exchange for the job he now has. Considering the Guardian’s point that he still writes for the Statesman on the government’s dime, the question is probably moot. The current arrangement is more honest for Mr. Hoffman but why are we the taxpayers subsidizing the Statesman?

petrak was a good guy — his demise is bad for the statesman, and bad for boise news coverage.

He was fired, by the way folks — the resgination was just a happy face paste on the story.
