"Coverage" of Netroots in Minneapolis newspaper - FAIL

[spedtr90]

Searching the Minneapolis Star-Tribune for local reports on Netroots, this is all I found except for a snarky column about the "lefty Netroots Convention" occuring the same weekend as the RightOnline Conference. Speakers for RO were listed. None mentioned for Netroots. (And conservatives gripe it is a liberal paper.....)


Final line in an article about Bachamnn:

"Meanwhile, a couple of blocks away, at the Minneapolis Convention Center, RightOnline's liberal counterpart, Netroots Nation, was holding its own conference with Sen. Al Franken headlining."

An article saying Debbie Wasserman-Schultz will speak Friday:

"In Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Republicans say they see a gaffe-prone attack dog emerging."
No later articles about her speech.

At the end of an article about Palin:

"The RightOnline conference is occurring opposite the Netroots Nation gathering of left-leaning bloggers down the street. Netroots includes speeches by leading Democratic officials from Congress, the White House and liberal groups.

Three GOP presidential candidates are set to address RightOnline on Saturday: Rep. Michele Bachmann, businessman Herman Cain and former Gov. Tim Pawlenty"

That is all......

Franken speech?
Ellison speech?

Can't verify. I take them at their word.
