"CREDIBILITY PROBLEM!!!" Mayor Sam Adams accused Katu of "baiting" senators Ginny Burdick and Margaret Carter into "saying something negative" about him in its report on Tuesday suggesting Adams has a "credibility problem" with Salem Lawmakers.

"We were concerned the senators thought we may have quoted them out of context, either that or the mayor was distorting what they said," says Katu reporter Dan Tilkin. "So we went back to them to ensure that our reporting was accurate."

Oh dear. Burdick told Katu, she felt she was "quoted accurately," while Carter sent Adams an email saying "I was concerned to hear yesterday from Dan Tilkin that you quoted me as saying he had "baited" me. That is not accurate. He did not bait me, nor have I ever said, to you or to anyone else that he did."

Adams' spokesman Roy Kaufmann is left holding the can. Poor Kaufmann. I don't imagine this footage is going to make it into his clips reel:
