On blind spots

Two days after the story about the Saskatchewan Party's exploitation of 9/11 for fund-raising purposes first broke - and after it's been slammed across the political spectrum on its way to being noted by a national news outlet - there's still nary a mention anywhere in Saskatchewan's traditional media, including the likes of the Leader-Post, CJME and even CBC.

Which should tell anybody counting on getting the full local story from the mainstream media that something's missing from the picture - and that the much-polished image that Brad Wall and his party have been able to develop thanks to an all-too-often fawning media may have little to do with reality.

Update: The Globe and Mail now has the story. But still crickets from the media in the province the Sask Party is actually governing.

Update II: Now was that so hard?

(Edit: fixed wording.)
