Someone had to be paying them over there.
They don’t seem interested in working a regular job. And that pay they are referring to here is easily a ‘buy the guys’ deal. Whether a hooker gets five bucks or five cents…if she gets the money for a specific act, such as blogging…then she is a blogging whore!

Diane-
I can’t seem to find a place on this site where Michael lists his code of ethics. Minnesota Monitor has one
I think for a blogger with serious conflict of interest problems and no code of ethics to guide his work to attempt to sully others with ethics allegations is laughable.

Roving: A code of ethics page doesn’t mean anything of you don’t follow it. Rew’s phone call last week is a great example. No ethics.

RR-
DFL have no monopoly on ethics, nor of its abuses, in this state or online.
Since when has a code of ethics stopped the DFL or demoKKKrats from making an ass of themselves online???
You surely don’t uphold any ethical standard.

This is the Internet…you know DFL Al Gore invented it!
What code?
Why does a blogger need anything…anything if he/she is not paid to do it directly?????
You know you don’t even have to give correct information in a print af anymore…
You don’t have to even give your correct name here…
You don’t have to help little ladies across the streets any more either…
New rules and new communications.
However if you take money from a blog specialty operation…and we find out that you are being paid a stipend, in definition a small amount of pay and they own you lock stock and barrel, then we have the right to act on that info…
Since we now know how devicive they are at MNPublius and others…we can stay away from them or we can rub their little noses in it.
Also if you blog on the internet and no one places an entry, do you still get your stipend? hmmmmmmmmmmm………
Especially of concern since now we know that MNPublius is for sale for stipends and they have been extravagantly supportive of Ellison all this time…are there more checks and are they from Ellison?
Now we really want to know.

Just the facts:
If you have an example of any of these bloggers breaking this code of ethics, I would love to see it. I made this same point to Michael earlier, and he erased it, proving that he is not even ethical enough to have this debate. If you have an allegation of abuse, please present it.
Diane-
As with the above post, if you have evidence that any blogger was being paid by Ellison, bring it forward. That is how we learned of Michael’s ties to Bachmann, and I encourage you to do the same thing to liberals bloggers that liberal bloggers are doing to Michael. Or, short of that, feel free to keep your increasingly bizarre conspiracy theories to yourself.

I would advise people not to even visit these little Soros sites – don’t give them any traffic. Let them rot in their own rants!
