One of these things is not like the other…
A visit to Corey Stapleton’s Wikipedia page this morning revealed he has fixed his spelling mistake. Good job Corey and thanks for reading the Montana Cowgirl Blog.
I also noticed some other differences between your official campaign website and your Wikipedia page which you may want to address. On your official website, you write:
Corey and his wife Terry, are both fourth generation Montanan’s who grew up in Great Falls.
Yet your Wikipedia page says:
Corey was born in Seattle, Washington. He was adopted as an infant and lived in Idaho Falls, Idaho until age 2, moved to Great Falls, Montana in 1969.
Can you clarify?
Also, your Wikipedia page has this information, which your official campaign site makes no mention of:
As a child Corey was a leader of many things good or bad. Small and quick, he was a standout athlete, good musician, and gifted student but also had to overcome childhood addictions and juvenile delinquency.
Please explain.
Clearly the IR reporter who wrote the story about Stapelton today did not even bother to read his Wikipedia page. Some good research by the IR, once again.
It’s weird, every high school student is taught how to evaluate wikipedia and other online tools for accuracy etc. But the IR hasn’t evolved to handle that yet. But they have that worthless video that must have cost a bundle and is far less meaningful in terms of news value then what we get on our local television stations.
If you are reading this, IR people, know that Republicans are BIG on amateurish social media attempts right now. There are bound to be more bungles. Just look how many staffers Rehberg pays to sit on Twitter and Facebook all day.
