Buried the Lede! Kari Lake's Democrat Senate Opponent Ruben Gallego Skips Debate

[pjcomix]

Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) failed to show up for a debate with his Republican opponent for the U.S. Senate, Kari Lake. It was hardly a hostile venue for a Democrat -- Arizona PBS.

This would seem like a big deal...unless you are writing cover for him at the Arizona Republic in Phoenix, the state's largest newspaper (owned by Gannett). The headline about the scheduled debate published on their azcentral.com website does not even mention the no-show by Gallego: "Kari Lake assails economic data, Ruben Gallego and media host in new interview."

Typical for the AZ Republic (AZCentral dot com).
