Rarely like this. The often update and expand previous articles, but they
don't send two reporters to a Democratic debate in Iowa to write parallel
stories. Sorry just doesn't happen.
And indeed, if you can't recognize that piece as being very clearly written
as an "opinion/analysis" piece, and not as a news piece - then I really
can't help you. I would figure that someone reads as much news as you do
would be more experienced in that sort of thing.
