Objectivity? Schmobjectivity!
- A lead off quote attributing the defeat to the simple fact that South Dakotans dump Dems after three terms. Nothing more at work here.
- A woman in tears because Daschle put South Dakota on the map. Just like McGovern did.
- A woman who's farm was used for a Daschle campaign event backdrop.
- A former Dem legislator blaming the defeat on "a perfect storm" for the "religious right," who then says Thune will be ignored in DC.
- A deli worker who called Thune a rock star and said he, the deli dude, would move to Canada.
The article quotes Thune and one of his staffers -- but not one South Dakota citizen who supported Thune. Could the reporter not find any Thune supporters?
I'm adding coverage of Daschle/Thune to the list of biased election news stories below. Please help me stretch the list to 100!
