Paranoia Revisited

July 26th, 2007 at 2:00 pm

Turns out the weird stuff that happened at a couple dueling U.S. Senate press conferences earlier this month was, in fact, just a coincidence. Back then, we noticed two guys offering what seemed to be aggressively partisan lines of questioning at media gaggles for State Rep. Rick Noriega and for U.S. Sen. John Cornyn. But, it looks like we can consign the conspiracy theories back to spiral-bound notebooks.

Some nifty work by a reader tracked down the identity of the day’s first reporter, who pressed Noriega on questions about immigration and impeaching the president. His name is Phil Archer, and he’s a veteran TV guy KRPC-TV in Houston, a job he’s held down for about 30 years.

Still no word on the reporter who lauded Cornyn for standing up to Rove.

FYI I was at both pressers that morning (tight squeeze) but I believe the “stand up to Rove” question came from Will Lutz from the Lone Star Report.
