Read the following story: "When a statement endorsing the Flat Earth Society appeared on Joe Long’s campaign website, , it seemed like it must have been hacked. But the next day at a rally, Mr. Long proudly confirmed that he did indeed believe the planet was flat, saying, “I’ve driven from one end of this great state to the other and back again, and it was flat in both directions!” (Long, 2019). At that point, most people assumed his quest to be elected governor was doomed. However, the latest poll numbers revealed that Long’s approval numbers had instead gone up eight points. (Gallup, 2019) To investigate, the Springfield Times (2019) sent a reporter to the Cracker Box Cafe on the outskirts of the capital to ask patrons why they think this unusual stance has resonated with voters. Between bites of a chili cheese omelet, one diner said he didn’t care about the controversy. 'The man’s running to be the governor, not a mapmaker. Besides, I like a guy who makes up his own mind' (p. A4)." Identify the sources cited in this reading.
