HIGH SPEED RAIL.
A RAILROAD JOB.
ALL ABOARD?


YNN has been running an old story all day
today (Whistle stop tour promotes high speed rail).

http://capitalregion.ynn.com/content/your_news/capital_region/502073/whistle-stop-tour-promotes-high-speed-rail/

The headline ought to read (YNN promotes
reelection of incumbent congressman)

This is not news. To call it a "Top Story" is absurd.

YNN must be more objective and do some
investigative based reporting before airing
such shallow incumbent promos.

Consider this high speed rail report from the
Boston Globe:

http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2009/02/25/will_stimulus_funds_put_rail_on_the_fast_track?mode=PF

Will other local stations jump aboard this
reelection express?

The 10 and 11 pm news, tonight, and reruns
tommorrow, (Sunday) will tell the tale.

YNN continued to run this "top story" Sunday.
