Will the Columbian do the story on Probst and his quarter million scam?

Left this on Stevie Mathieu's Columbian Facebook page.

Well, Boldt lied like a rug on his mailer, and you people don't say a word about that... no double standard there, eh?

So, where's the demand that they fix this? Where's the article on Probst and the democrats lying about his quarter of a million scam? You people had so much to say about that at the time, and now that it turns out that the dems were lying and that they DID promise Probst a quarter million (and have since provided it) where;'s the article on that?

Or should I just not bother to hold my breath?

Here was her response: (I give her credit for that, btw... most there would just as soon shoot me as respond.) 

Stevie Mathieu Hi there. Is your real name Kelly Hinton? Anyway, I don't cover commissioner races, but feel free to send that Boldt flier so we can check it out.

I'm happy to report on things when I have proof. I have pointed out some of the erroneous information that's been spread about Benton during this election season, too, but I guess you missed that.

Feel free to send me more details about what you're claiming here. I can report on things when I have real evidence to that backs it up. My email: stevie.mathieu@columbian.com.

Here was my response: via email

 Each "report" was a link so she could check it herself.

She responded again by asking if this included the Boldt mailer:

 Hi Kelly,

Is this the Boldt flier you were talking about?

Thanks again!

It will be fascinating to see what, if anything, is done with this.

But you can bet that somehow, I'll get hammered and false claims of "who I'm working for" will be the order of the day...

and let me state for the record that I do not work for Benton or anyone connected, directly or indirectly to him, and I do not work for Madore, or anyone directly or indirectly connected to him, either.

This is about the truth... a selective truth, to be sure, because I didn't find anything that the newspaper couldn't have found...

... if they had bothered to look.
