[quote user="TheAntiGates"][quote user="futuremodal"] Let me explain something to you about a particular writing style.  The sentence from my quote above -"Whether you will agree or not that the latter two media offerings are of the yellow variety, I'll leave you to decide" - is a way of trying to determine where YOU stand on the issue of yellow journalism.  For all I know, you may not consider Mother Jones or NOW (the Bill Moyers PBS show) as being of the yellow variety.  In that case, you'd have to define your view of what you consider to be yellow.  The point is, if you don't consider MJ or NOW as the epitomes of yellow, then that would explain in part why you can't see the yellowishness of the TRAINS Newswire item in question.  [/quote] I'll be perfectly honest with you and say that  I never could have deduced ALL of that from what little you offer(ed). Sounds to me as though you realize what a thin branch you're on, and now you expect company? No thanks [/quote] Hmmmmmm...... A simple request to find out what AG would term as yellow journalism, and he turns yellow of a different shade!  What is that, Canary?  Saphron?  [:D] Just a reminder, you're the one who introduced the term "yellow journalism" on this particular thread.  By the definition I use, I believe the term is applicable to the way TRAINS presented this particular news item.  That doesn't necessarily mean TRAINS itself is guilty of yellow journalism, provided they simply lifted the news item straight from NYT or Al Jazeer without proofing it for a railfan audience.  If that's what happened, then TRAINS is guilty of nothing more than sloppy editing.
