Earlier this week we identified the local publicist for the Green-Richter Slate. Today, the Vancouver Sun's Daphne Bramham step forward again. This reporter has previously been known to write glowing articles about Councillor Kim Richter. Then another Green-Richter slate candidate that lost received another publicity piece from this same Sun reporter.
Earlier this year following the same slate loser's RCMP complaint, The Langley Record provided documents to the RCMP that clearly showed this losing candidate used a BC Society for political purposes (also known as an "Elector Organization"). Although Daphne Bramham, Matthew Claxton and Al Irwin were copied on the message and received the document, no reporters followed up on this part of the story.
It is very clear that Daphne Bramham is not interested in all sides of her stories. She simply jumps to requests from the Gren-Richter slate. Remember this when you read The Vancouver Sun and most especially any articles from Daphne Bramham. Maybe NDP roots run deep, eh?
P.S.
Did you catch the local Langley Mimes rag?
The local slate publicist wrote much of the campaign financing articles and made sure he injected a few good jabs to folks like Dan Sheel. Did you read the cheap shot about Dan putting $4 into his campaign? I guess in the publicist's opinion, candidates can't open bank accounts! Then there is all the talk about who got money from whom. But you notice that there was no mention of Richter and very little about Green. Imagine that? The other slate loser was also left out of much of the conversations. This is now the Green-Richter Slate Happy Rag. We think we would rather read the realtor ads than their version of local journalism.

Dan put $4 into his campaign. Sonya put $12,000 into her campaign. Both lost.
I think Dan is clearly smarter. Sonya must be pretty embarrassed.
$12,000??????? Holy moley thank goodness we did not give Sonya the Township checkbook.
All these articles and still Rickim's propaganda writer Frank has not outlined who gave money to his slate. Shame!
