KELO-TV, the Sioux Falls CBS affiliate widely considered the establishment broadcast medium in South Dakota, discussed SDP on the 10:00 news tonight. You can access the internet stream of the segment HERE. I was never contacted by KELO for a comment, even though KELO News Director Mark Millage knows how to get in touch with me. The condescending tone of the segment was typical of the mainstream media dinosaurs' response to the New Media. That said, the KELO coverage of SDP was definitely not even in the same ballpark as the vitriolic response of the Argus Leader executive editor to the New Media. Below is a sampling of some of the remarks made by KELO co-anchor Angela Kennecke about the New Media generally and SDP specifically:
"There are so many sites out there that LOOK like real news, but are really just opinion or internet blogs. Just because they LOOK official or say 'news' doesn't mean that they ARE."
The following comment by Angela Kennecke about SDP is absolutely priceless:
"This is just a long internet blog. It is not an official mainstream media site."
That one's so good I'm putting it right at the top of the blog. What's sad is Angela Kennecke probably doesn't realize she paid me a compliment.
