Hot air over a Cape Wind book

Has WGBH's Cape Cod radio station, WCAI, been suppressing news about a new book that takes a favorable view of Cape Wind, the controversial proposed wind farm? It's a claim that's been rattling around for the past few weeks. Now the Phoenix's Adam Reilly takes a look. And though he finds no definitive proof, he does dig up some interesting tidbits about power, money and potential conflicts of interest.

You want conflicts of interest? Well, you've come to the right place. I'm a paid contributor to another outpost of WGBH, "Greater Boston with Emily Rooney." The editor of Cape Cod Today, Walter Brooks, who's pro-wind farm and who first alerted me to this story earlier in the month, is a friend of Media Nation. Walter and I have appeared together on WCAI to talk about online journalism.

So it's just as well I'm taking a pass on this. Read Adam's story and decide for yourself.
