A South Dakota Moderate

I will be monitoring the South Dakota media with renewed interest today and in the days to come as any excuse they thought they might have had in not reporting the Hildebrand story has gone out the window. As was mentioned last night, the AP has picked up the story originally written by the [...]

“Dick Cheney“
Quote from Charles Rangel (D-NY) during an interview with Wolf Blitzer last week when discussing the corruption in the Bush Administration.
It’s not Gonzales. The corruption with the vice president, Scooter Libby and the president covering up and saying, “You’re guilty but you shouldn’t do time” — Gonzales is a classic example of what the [...]

While the silence continues from the East River print media, the West River media hasn’t been so quiet and has apparently grown a “pair”. The Rapid City Journal is 2 for 2 in covering the biggest political stories in South Dakota that up until now haven’t been stories for the our MSM. Yesterday the RCJ [...]

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve posted pictures from my Navy days and while we wait to see if any other MSM outlet other than the Rapid City Journal reports on the Hildebrand Tewes embezzlement I figured it was time to get back into the habit so to speak.

This is a shot of the now [...]

This ought to make the anti-video lottery lobby’s day and get us all a big “I told you so!”. The Rapid City Journal is quoting Steve Hildebrand as saying former employee and political blogger Chad Schuldt’s addiction to video lottery led to him steal over $100,000 from Hildebrand-Tewes.
Sioux Falls political consultant Steve Hildebrand said [...]

The Argus bashing over the Hildebrand-Tewes embezzlement scandal continues from all fronts and KELO-AM’s Greg Belfrage puts in his 2 cents and rips the Argus for not reporting on Steve Hildebrand’s naming of the suspect, Chad Schuldt.
Don’t you find it ironic that those of us with other full-time employment still managed to get this [...]

Apparently Rush Limbaugh and his webmasters have a bit too much time on their hands as this photoshopped image taken from CSPAN’s “Washington Journal” that was displayed proudly on his web site on July 25/26th would attest.
From the July 25 edition of Premiere Radio Networks’ The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: I’ll tell you something else. [...]

Talk about patience and it really floats (kind of), how cool is that?

I did get a response from one media outlet, not the Argus by the way, and they said that while they are monitoring this issue closely, they are waiting for criminal charges to be filed before running it and I would be willing to bet that is probably the case for most MSM outfits in [...]

Not only had the circumstances of former NFL star Pat Tillman’s death been initially covered up, the latest explanation of friendly fire may also be a lie.
U.S. Army medical examiners were suspicious about the close proximity of the three bullet holes in Pat Tillman’s forehead and tried without success to get authorities to investigate whether [...]

As Congress sends out it’s next round of subpoenas that will surely be ignored to members of the Bush Administration, Michael Moore announced on Leno that he has received a subpoena of his own.
First let me preface this with the fact I have never seen, nor have I any desire to see anything that Michael [...]

Would anyone be there to write about it? PP stole my thunder as I was going to ask the same questions as to why the South Dakota Media has avoided the Hildebrand Tewes embezzlement scandal and I do have a few emails out to some in the MSM that I am sure will be ignored [...]
