The ultra conservative media group, Paxton Media, out of Paducah, Kentucky, wrote a scathing editorial blasting Illinois Gov. Blagojevich for his corruption. But, the media has widely reported that the governor was mainly responsible for obtaining a couple million dollars to build a road to access the "Rent One" stadium in Marion, Illinois, home to the Frontier League minor league baseball team the "Miners." One of his buddies was the guy who built the stadium and bought the franchise. And the "Rent One" corporation, a company that charges customers most of the time a lot more than normal to buy products on time, gave so much money toward the stadium construction that they named the stadium after the company.

Now the media reports that Mr. Rent One, the head of the company, was a big time contributor of Blagojevich. And, with the connection between the governor and the owner of the Miners well established, one doesn't have to look very hard to realize that Paxton media, primarily through Paducah's NBC TV affiliate WPSD, is a strong backer of the Miners, and considering the time that they give to advertising for the Miners, probably has some kind of financial stake in the team. So should they be so critical? You answer that for yourself? That's the complication of the Illinois political corruption issue.
