The question now is whether WNPR will apologize to its listeners for having employed Dautrich for months as a supposed unbiased “political expert” on Faith Middleton’s weekly “Politics, Burgers & Beer” program without informing listeners about his contract with Rell, or even his 15-year relationship with her chief of staff Lisa Moody. Incredibly, WNPR and Middleton are prepared to accept him back to his old position as “unbiased” political pundit.
Now that he’s been found guilty, let’s see if WNPR has the journalistic ethics to let him go, and publicly apologize to their listeners.

$220,000 for a pollster to figure out where the State is wasting tax dollars. This ranks right up there with hiring an executive assistant for a job in which she has no experience. Can’t wait for the Republicans to take power in State government, everything will be put right by those fiscal conservatives. How about asking State employees for ways to save money? Dautrich doesn’t know his butt from a hole in the ground. Why does he get to keep the money?
