The integrity of John Costa should be questioned, not our new district attorney.
I can tell you from first-hand experience as a candidate last summer that Costa uses his paper to protect his personal and political interests, and to slander those who do not represent them. Yellow journalism is alive and well at the Bend Bulletin.
We have seen the unfair treatment that he and his edit staff have given Mr.Flaherty and how some writers tend to create a story rather than to report one.
John Costa and Nick Grube write opinion under the guise of factual reporting with the seeming intent to mislead and to misrepresent and they should never be trusted. We have years of written history by these purveyors of untruths and purposeful omission.
Patrick Flaherty has proven a different standard, and has yet to prove otherwise. His critics, with a long history deceit and transparent partisan motive, continue to talk their talk, and perform diligently as political tools.
We who seek justice, not politics, give Costa and Grube The Boot!

Funny thing is, Rondo, the Source agreed with the Bulletin on this one. When has that ever happened? Seems like you might still be a little bent outta shape over the Bulletin’s snub in the last City Council race. Did witto Wondo get his feewings hurt? I gotta say, pal, it’s hard to take anyone named Rondo very seriously.
Wanda has it. Flaherty and Rondo are pissed because they didn’t get endorsed. Get over it.
JUSTICE not politics.
JUSTICE not politics.
Nice soul patch, Boozehound. You need to get over it. I wander just how much money Flaherty wasted just to get a public aplology? He’d better get a little thicker skinned if he wants to be a DA. The press is going to hound him… and they should! It’s their job.
Boozer! You were not a candidate! No one took you serious, tea baggers are more authentic than you! they didn’t snub you, they simply stated fact! Your a criminal, and so is Flaherty
