As many of you may already know, what most so called "transit reporters" don't know would fill volumes. I am all for freedom of the press, but there is so much misinformation being published by the ignoramuses who write for the media that their credibility is seriously compromised. Many times I have listened to the Shadow traffic reports on the radio that give out gross inaccuracies about train delays that a high quality fiction writer could not be more creative. If people are going to report on transit issues in any capacity whatsoever, they had better have exhaustively encyclopedic knowledge of every aspect of the transit system about which they are reporting. Absent that, they should seek employment elsewhere more in keeping with their level of knowledge such as teaching kindergarten children how to tie their shoes because in most cases that seems to be the extent of their capabilities. |
