June 27, 2006 Tribune Announces Mayor's Withdrawal Before It Announced that He Had Applied

Well, well, well.

It looks like my post yesterday about Hamblen County Mayor David Purkey's application for the job of Tennessee Commissioner of Safety sparked some reporting action.

The Tribune ran an article this afternoon saying that County Mayor David Purkey says that he is "no longer in the running" for Tennessee Commissioner of Safety.

Now how does the Trib run an article saying that County Mayor David Purkey is "no longer in the running" for the job as Commissioner of Safety when the Trib had never reported that he had applied for this position in the first place?

Isn't that backwards reporting?

Isn't that backwards job hunting or double job-hunting?

How do you withdraw from a job search that you had never announced in the local newspaper to begin with?
