A note to Rep. Jim Gooch, (D – Coal Interests):
Jim,
There is a difference between character assassination and pointing out that someone is in the pocket of special interests and a dumb ass at the same time. Trying to kill the messengers won’t change reality.
From the Herald-Leader:
A lawmaker ridiculed in editorials and cartoons last year for his positions on environmental legislation is pushing a bill that would curtail the presence of the journalists he blames the most.
Rep. Jim Gooch, a Democrat who is chairman of the state House Natural Resources and Environment Committee, was the subject of critical editorials and cartoons when he attempted to quash a coal mine safety bill and claimed global warming was a hoax. One editorial cartoon showed Gooch in a hot tub with King Coal.

Gooch complained that the press often tried to make people look stupid and corrupt. Question: Where does the TRIED part come into this? It was a matter of reporting on material Gooch readily provided.
