Media Irony

Scott is right now being interviewed by the BBC on the Keith Ellison-Alan Fine race. Which means that, depending on the BBC’s editing, television viewers (or radio listeners?) in England will know more about the race than newspaper readers in Minneapolis.
SCOTT adds: I was interviewed by BBC Radio Washington Bureau Chief Justin Webb. He interviewed me briefly after speaking with Ellison and Fine for what will be a short overview of the race for the BBC’s domestic (British) service. He promised to provide anything linkable when the segment is broadcast. Justin and his BBC colleague who is in town working on the story with him had both read my Standard piece on Ellison, although they did not want to get into the details in a short report for their British audience.
