If you check CNN online you'll see that they are considering scaling back their print versions down to 3 days per week.<BR/><BR/>3 days!<BR/><BR/>By golly, things must be bad for a daily to scale back to that of a true rag. The morale of reporters and others in the organization must be subterreanean.<BR/><BR/>I feel for them.<BR/><BR/>The California HSR piece probably reflects those feelings and perhaps some reporters are feeling the need to write something. Anything. ... to generate interest or a response.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps it is a conspiracy too... divert Federal investment in HSR for a newpaper bailout later?<BR/><BR/>Regardless, at least in the Bay Area and Walnut Creek, where the Contra Costa Times is based, is represented by Ellen Tauscher in the House of representatives. She's has been, and continues to be, a supoporter of transportation and alternative transportation.
