No love from Bill Grady

Tony Botello of Tony's Kansas City was on 980 KMBZ this morning. Bill Grady was filling in for Mike Shanin and he interviewed Tony about goings on in the blogosphere. I thought Tony did a great job. He talked about how BlogKC scooped the traditional KC media on the Funkhouser for Mayor announcement. He talked about how his site was the only one to cover recent controversies involving two local news media personalities. When the subject of politics came up, Bill Grady asked Tony about his opinions on Charles Wheeler running for the 4th District at-large seat. It wasn't of much interest to Tony. Instead, Tony began to talk about one candidate of interest to him. Mark Forsythe. He plugged my blog and had some other nice things to say about me. It was quite a surprise. Grady cut him off though and said "we can talk about Forsythe but what about Charles Wheeler?" Thanks Grady. Thanks a bunch. You're interviewing a blogger about blogging, who wants to talk about a politico who blogs, and you redirect the conversation? Oh well. Any publicity is good at this point! Thanks to Tony for the plug.
