"Given the way media works today, anything you say in Washington is heard almost instantaneously in South Dakota. So it would be impossible to say one thing in Washington, and say something else in South Dakota. People in our state just would never let anybody get away with that." - Tom Daschle, quoted in the October 20, 2004 edition of the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. The Argus Leader, South Dakota's dominant newspaper, has ignored or buried 66 stories that show Tom Daschle says one thing in South Dakota, and does its 180 degree opposite in Washington.
