The Fargo Forum, whose chief political reporter recently quit to become a spokesman for Doug Burgum, is now reduced to publishing a photo essay about the politician’s love life.

Under the byline of “audience engagement specialist” Ross Torgeson, behold “Timeline: Doug Burgum and Kathryn Helgaas,” posted on the paper’s website yesterday.

It’s a collection of captioned photos (most of which don’t work, regardless of what browser you use) of the North Dakota Governor-Elect with Helgaas, his new wife.

Burgum hasn’t taken office yet, but it’s nice to see the tough political coverage has already begun.
