* Wisconsin newspapers all over prank Koch call story

...writing about the Kochs, and the Buffalo Beast "David Koch" prank on Scott Walker, was irritating conservative readers who considered the prank story illegitimate. Driving to the capitol, listening to 620 am, I heard local conservative talkers promise to hold "accountable" reporters who hyped the story.

Well, what defines whether a story is legitimate? The capitol was fairly festooned with anti-Koch signs, the governor made news in the prank call, and I see that newspapers today are leading with the prank story.

more...

that concludes that while Walker made specific claims of what he would do for the budget if elected.

But that he never made any statements that incorporated the sweeping extent of the plan...
