Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble.

[skeeter]

Dash hole has been extremely quiet these days.

A deeply troubled man.

Not much of a story here yet. Maybe more info will come out later.

To me the real story is the vile little Dakotan gnome is finally keeping his mouth shut! Let's count our blessings. :-)

Bedolido, If you have a SD ping list, please put me on it. floriduh voter

[floriduh voter]

The Dakota gnome is shredding and I can see the size of that pile.

[Grampa Dave]

Great finds re the duplicity of this left wing fishwrap.

[Sloth]

D'oh! I'm saddened, deeply saddened, to learn of these journalistic improprieties.

Dysfunctional Daschle??

Surely you jest!

</sarcasm off

[b4its2late]

I refuse to believe that Tom Dashole could be invovled in anything shady or backroomish....

[Executive Editor Randell] Beck fueled more controversy during a radio interview on May 22, 2003 when responding to a question about the lobbying activities of Daschle's wife Linda he emphatically stated the Argus Leader "doesn't report on the wives of political candidates." But an investigation indicates otherwise.

SD Republicans and national Repubs need to build on this. No more liberal passes on unethical behavior allowed.

It appears the Argus Leader is in lockstep with Daschle and the Dummycrats. And in the process, the paper seems to have violated journo ethics if not actual laws. This is gonna be good. Stay tuned.

[txrangerette]

Yeah...

WE'RE FED UP

AND WE'RE NOT

GONNA TAKE IT

ANYMORE!!!!!

:o)

[jagrmeister]

The correct response to outrageous bias like this one is not "oh bias again, big surprise"...as I've seen with some posts here. Once you get jaded, you're no longer an important player in changing minds politically. You've become a curmudgeon. The depths of the media's corruptness never surprises me and the fact that the Argus Leader's misbeahvior even drew a reproach from the liberal New York Times means that they really crossed the boundaries of journalistic integrity. Demanding media accountibility means pressuring for media reform- a transparency that is absolutely vital and missing in the American system. The media, especially newspapers (which hold monopolies in most cities due to industry dynamics) are untouchable- it's time to put them under the control of the people. I am working on a policy proposal of "Media Reform" which will encourage such accountibility. Hopefully, we Freepers will put our heads together and come up with some ideas along these lines.

Drudge needs to get on this ASAP.

[MonroeDNA]

This has legs.

How do we send this to Drudge?

[Bullish]

The cockroaches at the Argus Leader will go into full goerbols mode to re-elect their head cockroach.

[Stultis]

Deeply saddened, with many troubling questions, Ping!

[PhiKapMom]

LOL!!! I bet you are as deeply saddened as I am -- wonder if this is why there is deafening silence out of him!
