The exceptionally liberal Texas Observer’s mission statement starts off with:
The Texas Observer writes about issues ignored or underreported in the mainstream press. Our goal is to cover stories crucial to the public interest and to provoke dialogue that promotes democratic participation and open government
Keeping true to their mission, they did send at least one blogger to the Conservatives’ Defending the American Dream Summit. Albeit not as a member of the media interested in reporting on the otherwise mostly ignored by the MSM Conservative summit, but — as it turns out — just another typical Liberal.
I guess Texas Observer staffer Forrest Wilder drew the short straw and had to attend the civil, not depressing, not angry, Conservative summit while the rest of his blogging buddies were at the Nutters convention.
