It's not a joke; however slander in a public forum, even if the accusations are true, does nothing to bring this kind of problem to its just resolution, but then neither does total silence. Politics, the Arizona kind, can get pretty ugly and can quickly force one into an intractably desperate attitude of self-justification and condemnation of others. There is a great deal of polarization here, but mostly it is hidden under the table and the public is not aware of it which is the way the perpetrators want it. I am personally aware of the vicious side of a certain prominent politician mentioned in the referenced accusations. There are others in Arizona and Utah, for other reasons and whom I know personally, who are under verified death threats by the current administration of the U.S. Government. As a former member of this forum was want to say, the answer is love; unfortunately that approach is often the one we try last. If we were to try love first, we just might get different results and avoid a few wars. It is never too late to start; I have found love, which includes understanding, to be quite effective, especially in conundrum situations.

Wow this story really got my attention, though I don't know whether it's a joke or the biggest case of corruption and misfortune I've heard. How in the world can you be blacklisted from obtaining an Attorney OR a reporter?...I'm sure you should be able to find some attorney who doesn't care what blacklist you're on or what the Governor has to say and would be willing to take them on...You should even be able to find a reporter too.
