From the Choteau Acantha:
"...[Rehberg] also criticized the mainstream print and electronic media, but then told rural residents that with the advent of Blackberry palm devices and social networking sites, Twitter and other programs, citizens no longer have to rely on TV or print journalism for their news."

Sorry, Dennis Rehberg, but a lot of folks in Montana still DO rely on TV and print journalism for news.
And journalists are still the people who fight for freedom of speech, for transparency in government, and for holding elected officials accountable for their actions.
It's easy to see why Dennis would be encouraging Montanans to stop reading unbiased reports of his performance as their congressman. His track record is full of flip flops and voting against Montana in Washington, D.C. while telling folks at home he's acting in their best interest.
Montanans are smarter than Dennis, and will keep reading local papers, tuning in to morning talk shows on AM stations, and watching the evening news. Because we know that 140-character limit on Twitter doesn't do any story worth reading the justice it deserves. |
