Argus and Hildebrand-Tewes

I am not much for the "Argus is the devil" crowd, but the Argus's coverage, or lack thereof, regarding the Hildebrand-Tewes scandal is puzzling.  They have been scooped by Roll Call, Rapid City Journal and KELO on a story happening in the Argus backyard.  At a minimum, isn't this bad journalism?  Perhaps they could enlighten us as to why everyone else is covering the story, but they aren't.  Look at it this way: if the Argus was your only source of news, what would you know about this story? Answer: not much. 

Update: I originally wrote Hotline had scooped the Argus.  It was, of course, Roll Call.
