The Man Lorton Can’t Ignore

Oh the political collaboration just to shut-up one individual - Mike’s Reno Report.

Why does Michael Leonard and Mike’s Reno Report matter? Simple: people actually read it — and they act on it.

In less than a year, Leonard has built a growing, loyal audience — especially among Republicans — and that influence is very real.

Just ask Eddie Lorton.

Leonard was once in Lorton’s corner, even helping him behind the scenes. That didn’t last. Turns out, working with Lorton is one thing — dealing with the fallout is another.

When that relationship blew up, Lorton didn’t fix it — he escalated it. He thought he could use the local Republican Women’s clubs to shut Leonard down. Didn’t work, so Eddie teamed up with Hillary, Devon, Alex, and Connor.

And now?

Lorton isn’t gaining ground — he’s losing it, thanks in large part to Leonard’s coverage.

That’s why you’re seeing Hillary Schieve, Devon Reese, Alex Velez, and Connor McQuivey orbiting this drama and now shockingly working with Lorton. Because Leonard has been writing about them for months and doing a whole lot of word damage. The gang want to shut Leonard up.

Why else would Connor McQuivey provide Lorton with video of Leonard at a local wine bar to two. We await the transcript of the hearing and we will be posting it for your reading pleasure so you too can learn why this group came together to shut Leonard up. We urge you to contribute to his coffee fund. Keep Leonard writing.

Because whether they like it or not:

Leonard has an audience.
Leonard shapes narratives.
And Leonard moves opinions.

The last time we checked that is call journalism.

Ignore that at your own risk.
