At the end of an article announcing Karl Rove’s visit to ’strategize’ with Conrad Burns at a private golf tournament fundraiser, an unnamed AP writer offers this insight:
Both campaigns have gone negative with advertisements and campaign literature: Burns portraying Tester as liberal and weak on the war on terror, while Tester hammers Burns on ethics.
Do they even follow these races, or is the entrenched culture of non-coverage so powerful that overwhelms all logic? To have watched any part of this race and to believe that Tester and Burns are equally culpable for negative campaigning is willfull blindness. Sigh.

It is a series of self propagating myths. The Montana journalism gene-pool is so shallow that in the end there is only one or two sources for everything.
X writes and article. Y uses that as source for filler in his article. Z writes an article and uses Y’s article as a source for filler in her article. X writes a new article and use’s Z’s article for filler filler material. You see where this is going?

God I wish Mom still wrote for the three Bitterroot papers. At least she was able to actually report the NEWS. It is interesting watching or reading the news with her. Her insights into Montana journalism are interesting.

Why do they have to define TRUTH as negative?
