If you noticed, most papers just took the same feed- which was just terrible. At most you could say the feed was slanted (although I'd say it was just very spare on details), and that no one checked it- I mean Cobalt thought the guy was a US senator- the article didn't even make that clear.

Geography makes the MN news stations more interested in ND and SD. That only makes sense- so they had their own news team do a story, rather than simply using a very abbreviated feed. (I'm wondering if the feed was actually something from SD which would make sense, since presumably people there would be more likely to know he was their state senator.)

I understand that MN public radio did reveal the accused was a Democrat. Which means the NYT and WP are more slanted than public radio.

I really don't get that conclusion. The NYT, WP, and FoxNews printed the story as they got it from AP. They have to. Tweaking the text starts getting into copyright issues that we never care about on these threads, but the lawyers do.
