Amtrak Heartland Flyer Train

Crashes Near Oklahoma-Texas

Border!

Holy crap!! A train wreck!! There must be hundreds of casualties and many deaths. Better click on Tulsa TV station KOTV’s web site and check it out right away!

Well, whaddaya know. Turns out to be a minor grade crossing accident. The “report” doesn’t bother telling us what happened to the occupant of the car, but does say that none of the 90 passengers on the train was injured.

I am sorry to say this outrageous headline is just one more example of the sad — no, wait…make that pathetic — state of journalism in our land. And as to the person responsible for it, there are only two possibilities: irresponsible or incompetent. Maybe both.
