Star News To Dem's Rescue

Vernon Ward, the Democrat candidate for Bonner Stiller's NC House District 17 seat, hasn't had much of a campaign. He claims health problems that prevent him from "stressful" activities like running for office, but not from actually performing the duties of that office.

Never fear, Mr. Ward! The Star News is there to get your name and your campaign in the public eye by running stories about you not running very hard for office.

The sad part is that much of this story is regurgitated from older stories saying pretty much the same thing. Notice the date on the campaign spending they report. Yep, apparently June 30th is the most recent campaign expenditure report they could come up with.

And the Star News wonders why they're bleeding readership.
