ABC Takes North Dakota’s Side Over National Geographic
Plus, myself and 600,000+ other North Dakotans were named ABC’s “persons of the week.”
I’m waiting for the ABC World News Tonight video to appear online, but the show’s segment took the side of North Dakota over National Geographic, although anchorman Charlie Gibson, tounge in cheek I think, countered Gov. Hoeven’s claim that North Dakota is a “warm” state.
The segment ended well for North Dakotans—the residents of the Peace Garden State were named this week’s “Persons of the Week” by Gibson
I’ll have the video as soon as it’s available.
Update: ABC must be doing a North Dakota twofer this week (the only send a news crew up here once in a blue moon, so may as well make the best of it) covering the oil boom in Stanley as well as the National Geographic article:
Stanley was covered in the New York Times back on New Year’s Day as well.
Update: Here’s the “People of the Week” report:
Not a bad report. I think a lot of North Dakotans are tired of their state getting kicked around.
