... and it's also more evidence that NPR didn't do any reporting, they just did regurgitating. Why just ask the aggrieved here? Why not call a few bus companies? What does that take, ten minutes?
Zero. Primary. Sources.
In all your angry diatribes, you've yet to point out any factual error in the reporting. And NPR DID go to Amtrak several times for comment. And what for god's sake would 'bus companies' say that is relevant to this story??
Now that the story has been picked up by a wide range of news outlets, all reporting basically the same set of facts, your (and John Perkowski's) vitriol toward NPR looks all the more ridiculous.
Amtrak screwed up. NPR reported it first, and accurately. Public backlash, including a Senator. Amtrak then revised its policies for the better. Follow up reports published.
A good outcome all in all.
