Montana's former Congressman. It said so... about four words later.

Sole mention of "Zinke":

Still, Gianforte was elected months later in a special election to replace Zinke as Montana’s congressman.

Yes I know I could have just Googled it. I don't actually care who Zinke is, or what her or his first (last?) name might be. My comment was about journalistic standards. Sorry to confuse you.

Yes I understand that your criticism was about journalistic standards.

My point was that they didn't violate any standards, by telling you who Zinke is right after mentioning his name.
