Drawn and Corkered

Mason Neely's cover story on Bob Corker in this week's issue of our paper has picked up a tad bit of steam on the web -- most notably its being discussed on Bill Hobbs' blog.

Reaction to the story -- and especially the cover image -- has been mixed. Rumor has it that Mr. Corker is none too pleased. Others have called it demeaning. I tend to fall in the "you have to be prepared for this kind of stuff if you are going to run for office" camp. (Frankly, I'm more interested in a couple of glaring factual errors -- see next week's corrections section -- in the story. But, hey, we're only human...)

Most important, however, might be these blog comments concerning the story:

"...Why is the Chattanooga Pulse, an alternative weekly, the only media source in TN even asking questions about Corker's abortion position and Democratic money ties?"

I'm not sure, either. And if you were to see our meager budget, thin resources and somewhat ((OK, very) messy newsroom, the question is even more troubling.
