I watched this movie tonight and it was pretty, pretty, pretty good (that’s my Larry David rating system). What surprised me is there hasn’t been any local media coverage about this recently. I do recall a story from a couple of months ago that they were filming a movie on Pine Ridge and then nothing. The movie came out last Friday. I highly recommend journalists in our local media go see the movie, and please cover it.
It’s seems even Mr. HEIDELBERGER is wondering where the radio silence is from Noem and the supposed ‘hacking’;
Governor Noem has declined to comment on this dubious prosecution, but she made sure her taxpayer-funded lawyer, general counsel Katie Hruska, was in the courtroom yesterday, even though Hruska was not one of the prosecuting attorneys and even though Noem herself did not file the complaint that prompted this show.
So let’s review how adults handle situations like this;
• Dakota News Now did the right thing by terminating Mr. Goss
• The courts did the right thing by sentencing the case properly
• Mr. Goss did the right thing by apologizing to all involved parties
So my question is, will Noem do the right thing and apologize to the president and the DOJ for falsely accusing them of phone hacking?
Where you went wrong Mr. Goss is admitting ANY guilt. You just lost your street cred with the Pierre Country Clubbers.
UPDATE: I guess they had a briefing last week but only two reporters showed up and the city didn’t record it. Isn’t whole point of have a press briefing is to inform the public? How do you do that without turning on the camera? I am baffled.
After a week off, the city has returned with the ‘weekly’ press briefing, or is it the bi-weekly press briefing?
They also posted today on YT even though someone should tell the media department they posted a briefing from a month ago.
Was glad to see they are going to take another stab at their CIVIC DUTY to INFORM the public now maybe they could scrape some money together for press microphones so we can hear their questions.

I guess that’s what you get when you hold it so close to a funeral home.
There is one thing you can say about Sioux Falls City Government, it is predictable. After having two consecutive weeks of these supposed weekly Wednesday briefings we have radio silence. Nothing on YT, FB or the city website (there isn’t much there anyway).
I actually thought there would be at least 4 or 5 consecutive weeks before they threw in the towel. Maybe the new communications person with all of her food truck reporting experience they could setup the briefings in a parking lot where the food trucks could participate?
“We are still investigating the homicide that occurred yesterday, but no worries because the pulled pork sandwich I just got is bang’n! Oh, and have you heard, the price of bridges are going up!“
I also find it a little ironic that the new press briefing room that the taxpayers spent gazillion dollars on isn’t equip for the media to ask questions (that we can hear).
Of course, they will probably poke Detroit Lewis in the eye tomorrow with a press briefing . . . I guess I am it.
