Oklahoma: Where the News Is Makin’ Lazy Circles in the Sky
On June 30, the National Education Association decided to send $3 million to Oklahoma to support SQ 744, the school funding initiative.
I spent a good part of the next three weeks trying to get confirmation of that information, finally succeeded, and published the story on July 26.
Four days later, the Tulsa World files a story with the headline, “NEA gave $3 million for Yes on 744 ballot measure.” It is then picked up by the Oklahoman, with the headline “National Education Association donates $3 million to campaign.”
I wonder what prompted this sudden spark of journalism, and the acknowledgment by the Yes on 744 campaign. Hmmm…
