Trinity River Shocker!

A newspaper admits they were misled by politicians and in return misled voters.

Shocked? 

Well, don't be, because this paper that manned up and admitted it is in Dallas, not Fort Worth.

Same Trinity River, different story.

Read what the Advocate had to say about it here.

Kudos, Dallas Morning News, better late than never.  Hear that, Fort Worth? 

If the "news" becomes just a "pimp" for the politicians, what does that make YOU? ASK your local media.

...the incident will “shake some people’s confidence in city government. And the next time elected officials say, ‘Trust us,’ voters may not.”

In fact, the newspaper was pimping the Tollway just as much as the supposed city “leaders” were, and that’s the main reason Leppert and others were able to get away with misleading voters — it wasn’t in the DMN‘s interest to find the real facts related to the Tollway because the paper had already come down hard in favor of the project, and against opponent Angela Hunt, so many times and so stridently.
