In another display of lousy journalism the Argus ignored yesterday's AP article titled "Means and Thune Back Together Again."This story started last February when the Rapid City Journal and the Mitchell Daily Republic ran this article which mentioned that Means had endorsed Thune and would be working to get him elected. The story was apparently not newsworthy to the Argus because they chose not to report on it.
Then in July, another AP article ran which mentioned that Means and Thune had a disagreement over funding. The Argus jumped all over this article and ran it right away. Both DVT and SDP mentioned this in late July. Then yesterday when the "Means and Thune Back Together Again" article ran the Argus didn't cover it. Apparently, the topic of Means helping Thune was not newsworthy when they began to work together, was when they disagreed, and isn't now that they are working together again.
Well said.
