its appears to me that KnightNews staff is actually taking the time to flood their site with positive comments…. if they didn’t lack every last ounce of credibility and integrity maybe they wouldn’t have to spend so much time doing that.

Here’s an idea… instead of defending your sorry excuse for a blog (if you even want to give it that much credit) why don’t you try making something credible out of this.

Sure you may draw fans but you’re not properly informing the public and thus you are not fulfilling the duties of a true journalist. THIS IS NOT JOURNALISM!

Lusk does have a legitimate concern about the recording not being usable and the election committee should never have heard it; however, the main question is whether or not he attempted bribery.

There were 49 people on the Unite Ticket. In my opinion, it’s highly unlikely that all of them would join the College Republicans just to push for an endorsement. It’s also been noted that in the past CR had been neutral in elections.

As a rational individual, I would have immediately realized that Lusk was joking about having 49 people join CR. Yes, it’s common for politicians to cross political borders to collect votes, but it’s just plain silly to contribute funds to your competition. It’d be like everyone on the Unite ticket paying dues to join the Democrats.

I’d like to hear the recording that was played at the original meeting though. Overall, this is a really silly precedent to set because it limits what college students can say to develop hypothetical scenarios because the next thing you know we’ll be getting fined out of spite.

@I see: If you’re going to tell people who don’t like KnightNews to get off of it, then I really hope you also agree that if someone (like Will) doesn’t like KnightNews that they shouldn’t speak to their reporters either and would never think to insult someone who chooses that option.

But then, the general rule seems to be that people who write or support this site have a shared logical reasoning deficit, so I guess I shouldn’t expect too much.

Glad he didn’t answer those questions… they are either obvious, irrelevant or loaded (or a combination of those). This blog is trash. He didn’t talk to CFF either (he left the SU right after) and they didn’t post a bitch fit or chase him down… they just took quotes right from the actual hearing…
Wow! What do you know? Non biased or loaded information from something that actually happened!

From an economic standpoint, instead of hiring a lawyer, Lusk could have spent those attorney fees on his bribery attempt and actually been successful with it.
