DEAN ZIMMERMANN
Bushwhacked by media
The media collectively should hang their heads in shame for the manner in 
which they effectively rendered illegitimate the democratic process here in 
Minneapolis.
The FBI raid on the home of Minneapolis City Council Member Dean 
Zimmermann, the allegations of bribery and the history of political 
corruption in Minneapolis City Hall were reported in detail. But the media 
failed to follow through with the same furor when no charges were ever 
filed against Zimmermann, who lost his reelection bid last week by just 46 
votes.
This sort of slippery journalism amounts to little more than pure character 
assassination. Your headlines established a public perception of Dean 
Zimmermann that unjustly discredited him and tarnished his image.
