LaRouche Defenders Lash Out at Alternative Pressnew
Mike Lacey, VVM and a host of other alternative papers have been sucked into
the Byzantine persecution complex of perennial libertarian presidential
candidate Lyndon LaRouche. A column blasting a number of alt-weeklies for
their anti-Larouchian tendencies appeared last week in something called the Executive Intelligence Report and has been circulating in the blogosphere.
Lissa Harris, a blogger for Boston's Weekly Dig, among those papers named,
gamely attempts to respond with a straight face.

Alt-Weekly Reporter Leaves Trail of Clips, Smoldering Ruinsnew
Peripatetic reporter Lacey Phillabaum blazed a trail through the alternative press even after sending the University of Washington's Institute for Urban Horticulture up in blazes on behalf of the eco-terrorist group Earth Liberation Front in 2001. Besides working as a staffer at The Source Weekly and C-Ville Weekly, Phillabaum contributed freelance pieces to sundry alternative newspapers and AAN. "I knew she was very interested in environmental stories from the clips she had," Washington City Paper Senior Editor Mike Debonis tells Baltimore City Paper, "But I didn't have an inkling that she had any radical tendencies."

Colorado Congressional Candidate Places Unusual Ad in Alt-Weeklynew
In a neck-and-neck race for Colorado's 5th Congressional District, Democratic candidate Jay Fawcett took out a full-page ad in the Colorado Springs Independent, the Rocky Mountain News reports. The ad campaign -- one of the biggest campaign expenditures ever by a Democrat in the district, according to the News -- may give Fawcett the edge he needs to wrest away a seat the Republicans have owned since 1972.

Hot Off the Press: The Tragedy of Gary Webbnew
OC Weekly editor Nick Schou's book about the dire last days of journalist Gary Webb is out at last, and many AAN members are excerpting it. Schou first met Webb at the peak of the controversy over "Dark Alliance," his 1996 San Jose Mercury Press series on collusion between the CIA and cocaine-trafficking Nicaraguan contras. Scourged by the mainstream media, a broke and unconsolable Webb sank into depression and committed suicide in December 2004. "Kill the Messenger: How the CIA's Crack Cocaine Controversy Destroyed Gary Webb" grew out of an OC Weekly article Schou wrote following his death. In "In These Times," former Village Voice columnist Doug Ireland calls Schou's book a "a meticulous, balanced account" of the affair and "a cautionary tale for anyone considering a career in investigative journalism."
