Rocky Mountain Herald
Regional Newspaper — Political Gaffe Reporting and Presidential Scandal IgnitionDescription
The Rocky Mountain Herald detonates a White House firestorm by splashing President Bartlet's casual fundraiser quip—equating seatbelt risks to traffic jams—across its pages, igniting a widow's lawsuit for her unbelted husband's fatal crash. Katie hurls the story into C.J.'s briefing like a grenade, shattering prepared responses; staff scramble in hallway huddles, correcting misattributions while Toby and Sam dissect its trivial origins amid Qumar arms deals and mad cow panics. This regional outlet thrusts minor gaffes into major crises, forcing frantic damage control.
