Props for McGovern
Yesterday, we ran a brief item online about Rep. McGovern’s travels around Central Massachusetts. His stops included the Marlborough Chamber of Commerce, Assabet High School and Anna Maria College’s satellite campus in Worcester. He’s also expected back in Worcester today.
Well, one reader didn’t like the tone of our article:
“Anyone that pays half attention to their local newspapers would recognize that US Rep. Jim McGovern’s ‘whirlwind tour’ is SOP for this tireless public official and hard working advocate of Central Mass. When not in session in DC, you can almost always find the Congressman in his Worcester District office or traveling to the many events and meetings that he participates throughout his District. The implication from your coverage that this “tour” is an unusual presence by Rep. McGovern is misleading and disingenuous.”
While the reader’s point is taken, we really didn’t mean anything by it. We just got an unusual announcement from the McGovern camp about his planned stops and thought our readers would be interested to know that their Congressman was in town.
But what do you think? Was our coverage to snarky?
