I'm with those here who feel this is nothing but an attempt to smear the Morses there. Surely a local station can get comments from locals in ITS area. (Now, those are comments I would like to see -- how do the citizens of Montana feel about all of this?)
No offense to anyone involved in this project. I don't know the details of what you plan to do with the comments here. But I suppose much has changed since my long career in journalism which ended just a very few short years ago.

Any, and every, editor I've worked with would never allow a story based off of comments made on an Internet forum unless the writer contacted the people who made the comments. Just goes to show the level and credibility of journalism we are reading these days.

THIS IS ALSO OFF THE RECORD.
