Also very misleading is this statement in Mr. Dixon’s article: “Dan Malloy, the former Stamford mayor who’s a frontrunner, along with Ned Lamont, for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination..”
That’s nonsense. Only one candidate can be a “frontrunner”. And Mayor Malloy is not tied with Mr. Lamont for the lead in opinion polls, which is the only other way that you could possibly call them both “frontrunners”. Indeed, Mr. Lamont enjoys a large ten percentage point lead over Mr. Malloy in the latest poll.
It seems that this “..frontrunner, along with Ned Lamont..” nonsense is an indication that you’re deliberately trying to downplay Mr. Lamont’s popularity among Democratic voters and “talk up” Mr. Malloy. And that is disreputable journalism. It’s wrong.
Unfortunately, it’s what you do so frequently. After all, you’re the guy who referred to Congressman Jim Himes as “a forty two year-old blank slate”, though that “blank slate” is a Rhodes Scholar, Harvard graduate, former executive with Goldman Sachs, and director of a national affordable housing nonprofit organization. Just what else would a human being have to accomplish to avoid being called a “blank slate” by you, Mr. Dixon?
Mr. Lamont is the “frontrunner” in this race, Mr. Dixon. Stop trying to minimize his popularity by twisting the meaning of words.
The headline is misleading – Dan did not criticize the plan – he said it sounded like a lot of his ideas – which he is obviously in favor of, and he added a few minor points.
