Freshening up the story
There's the old journalism cliche about how to freshen up an old news story, ideally by getting "today" into the lede:
"Grass began growing today over the grave of Etaoin Shrdlu, who died on Jan. 22..."The Lautenschlager campaign does it this way, in announcing the Wisconsin AFL-CIO's endorsement:
"At the most recent meeting of its Committee on Political Education, the Wisconsin AFL-CIO endorsed Peg Lautenschlager for re-election as Attorney General."The release, posted today on WisPolitics, is dated Feb. 8. The "most recent" meeting was on Jan. 19, as reported here a few days later.

Once again Bill Christopherson strains to criticize Peg Lautenschlager. Methinks he protesteth too much.
Isn't the Lautenschlager campaign entitled to announce an endorsement from Wisconsin's largest union?
I receive Lautenschlager's campaign emails. This is the only one I received regarding the AFL-CIO endorsement. Lighten up Billy boy.
