Article shouldn't have included Zinke's reaction

On March 2, your headline reads: Montana Senators React to Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine.

The article includes comments and opinions from our two elected Senators. And, comments and opinions from Ryan Zinke.

Since when is Ryan Zinke an elected official in Montana, let alone a Senator? Why is his opinion included in the article? Why does he get special privileges not offered to any of the others who are running for Congress against him? He and his opinions do not belong in the article mentioned above.

Including him seems to be blatant favoritism and free advertising for him. Why? What does that mean for unbiased journalism?

P.S. - Rep. Matt Rosendale voting against help for Ukraine, is an embarrassment for all Montana.
