Hot take: a local professional journalist seems to be glad a circus clown candidate has entered the Cincinnati Council race. The journalist doesn’t necessarily want the clown candidate to win, but will like writing about him.

Nor the legal authority.

Only local newspapers are covering this story as if this morning. One local TV news website has it, because they carry one of the local newspapers.

Terrible journalism & terrible local TV “news.”

It is funny how the Cincinnati faux panic has died down and now it is instantly just a trope that Russian bots are using. Like Portland or Chicago.

Manufactured outrage is pathetic, but prolific.

Bowman is getting Republicans outside the City to give him attention. That is the noise you see in the news and on social media. He only has the small Republican city base and running on the fear of black people downtown does not gain him city votes.

There are not enough Republicans in the City of Cincinnati to elect Bowman. The City is very Democratic.

Bowman’s candidacy has always been about him building a brand for him to appear on Conservative Media or he’ll run in Butler County for something else.

Cincinnati news that should get national attention, but won't because the guy donated a lot to Republicans.

It hasn’t been called the Jazz festival for a long time. Recycled journalism suck.

Nothing says “I have never been to OTR” more than referring to OTR as “The OTR.”

We seem to be in yet another “Do Something” cycle when many progressives and leftists heave criticism on anyone they deem to be a leader for not having magical powers or for not being able to make their angst vanish.

I talked to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker about Secret Service agents reading through my reporter's notebook:

Ohio reporter’s notebook searched by Secret Service at Vance fundraiser Erin Glynn, a reporter for The Cincinnati Enquirer, had her reporting notebook searched by Secret Service agents during a security …

Secret Service agents searched and read through Cincinnati Enquirer reporter @eringlynn.bsky.social’s notebook, which included unpublished work product, during a security screening ahead of an event with Vice President @jd-vance-1.bsky.social in Lima, Ohio, on June 24.

NO, he has not campaigned for Dems, unless you want to pretend Dusty Rhodes was a DEM.

Smitherman has worked against the Democratic Party since he started in politics.

He got the boot from Charter as well.

Smitherman is a full on Republican. He endorses and campaigns for Republicans. His past campaign staffers were filled with Trumpists.

If you support fascism by standing on a stage supporting a fascist like he did yesterday, there is no way to wiggle around that.

Plus he has a screw loose.

If anyone in Cincinnati doubts that Chris Smitherman is a Republican, then they are a fool. You don’t HOST an event for Republican extremist Ramaswamy as he did on Monday if you are not a supporter.

If Smitherman refuses to call himself a Republican, he is a coward.

So let me get this straight: Jack Smith investigates a guy who tried to overturn an election and incited an insurrection… and he’s the one being investigated?

We’re not a serious country. We’re a banana republic with better branding…but that’s going to shit, too.

It was NOT a Cincinnati resident. The accused was reported to live near Dayton, OH about 60 miles north of Cincinnati.

Are you trying to pull a Matt Yglesias with this “provocative” thread?

Yes, Conservative media, notedly FOXNews, is propaganda. It has been this way for well over decade at this point.

I would think this would be common knowledge amongst journalists.

If your strategy to win a seat on Cincinnati City Council is to attack the Mayor, Other City Council Members, and the City itself, then you are NOT going to win. Talking Down the City will not be rewarded by City voters.

why isn't Trump celebrating the June to July jobs surge?

Right Wing “Activists” support Republicans very consistently with a massive conservative media.

Left Wing “Activists” split their time between attacking Republicans & attacking Dems.

The “mainstream” media helps both sides do what they do.

People wonder why Dems can’t message the way they want.

Chasing Republican readers is not good journalism. It is sad.

If you don’t know: Vance’s brother is running for Mayor. This is political blackmail.

The “legitimate” media & academia will for now and always expect Dems to uphold & live by all “norms”, ethics, laws, regulations, and all purity requirements du jour. Once Dems step over a line they will get “literally” crucified for it, while Repubs can loot and pillage at will with nary a whine.
