[quote user="TheAntiGates"][quote user="futuremodal"] 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] [/quote] No Dave, stating that you will leave something up to me to decide is not one in the same with asking  me to define my position. "Your writting style" notwithstanding, if you are not getting the answers you desire, perhaps you should refine your questions a little better, for effect. You've accused the magazine of Yellow journalism, not I, and the simple fact is that I cannot answer for them. so you can perch out on that branch until they give you the answer you deserve. It's you pointing the finger, so don't blame me for your frustration. You made your bed... If you wanted to know what I consider yellow journalism, you should have asked without all the histrionics. Nice backpeddeling, btw,guess sitting alone on that branch has given you time to think? [/quote] 1.  No.  It wasn't me who accused TRAINS of yellow journalism, it was you who introduced that term, and for the sake of placating your familiarity with the term I ran with it.  What I said was that TRAINS introduced a bias that was both anti-rail and pro-nonsense, par for the course for the yellow rags to which Ed B prostrates himself, but unusual for TRAINS, especially considering they are a railfan mag. 2.  Since you still have no answer for what you term yellow journalism, perhaps you yourself are fuzzy on the subject. 3.  To be completely honest, I don't care what your definition of yellow journalism is.  I don't usually use the term, prefering instead the word "bias" when describing journalistic shortcomings. The facts remain:  TRAINS ran a newswire item in which they gave credibility (whether purposeful or inadverdent, I do not profess to know) to a faction undeserving of credibility in their response to DM&E's proposal.  You can sit out there on that branch and deny it all you want, but it is there for all to see.
