| 1626637648923136020 | @deadbeatsred @mtpublicradio I've won 7-figure lawsuits in Montana and I'm both a Bobcat and a Griz booster lmao. You're a human cumstain who attacks trans kids and doesn't possess the most basic of media literacy skills. We aren't the same. | 0 |
| 1626637086412652544 | @MontanaMuckrake @mtpublicradio Ahh, I assumed from your account's name and focus that you were a Montana resident. You seem to, after all, put a lot of effort into activism in our state.It appears I was mistaken and you're more likely an outsider attempting to astroturf influence here. We don't need it. | 0 |

| 1626639606153383936 | @mtpublicradio It's more than editorializing. They clearly were slinging lies on the air. If you can't see the difference, well, you probably watch Fox News. | 3 |
| 1624274209190068225 | The culture wars are flaring up in Helena. @mtpublicradio @hollykmichels @RobSaldin https://t.co/M0hwZ2cigN | 3 |
| 1626961290685194241 | I absolutely love @mtpublicradio and it’s so soothing, but does anyone else wonder when they won’t have to spend so much airtime just reading out the long list of local station call signs over and over? Maybe just refer to a spot on the website that has them? | 3 |

| 1626673343889027073 | @mtpublicradio Thats a weird choice. Why have the fees at all? Just to reduce applicants? Market should manage this not government. Dont apply for a rental if you cant even afford an application fee. Dont apply for a place that overcharges on the fee, you'll be in a hostile negotiation. | 2 |
| 1624488444289507328 | “Montana values” vs. “San Francisco elites”. Etc… @mtpublicradio https://t.co/M0hwZ2cigN | 2 |
| 1626639260316217345 | @MontanaMuckrake @mtpublicradio That said, I would assert that there's no such thing as "trans kids" - I use the more traditional term "victims of childhood sexual abuse". My heart goes out to them, and I hope their abusers are brought to justice. | 2 |
