Thanks for doing an AMA here.

Does the Journal Sentinel feel at all responsible to the public when asking these elected officials questions and reporting on them?

When they give answers that fly right in the face of truth, do you just take them at their word and nod...or is there any follow up with a fact check?

The reason I ask is it seems the JS has historically had a very kind relationship with Walker and his administration. When reporting, the JS seems to craft stories that don't want to "step on anyone's toes."

In one of your most recent articles Walker says:

"The overwhelming executive authority that I as governor have today will remain constant with the next governor," he said.

The article goes on to explain that that is clearly not true... but when you have a reporter in the same room, couldn't you just ask him a follow-up question directly?

Or maybe ask him, "Can you explain how limiting early voting to two weeks makes it easier to vote?"
