[QUOTE="topdecktiger, post: 129612059, member: 1459051"] It's not a "weak" attempt at all. It's a logical evaluation of the information. I'l again remind you to call on your journalism background, rather than your emotional attachment to West Virginia. You have simply chosen to believe this author because you like what he says, pure and simple. You completely disregard what the SBJ article says, without any legitimate basis to do so. This author doesn't quote any sources, anonymous or otherwise, to back up his points. He simply says that Fox has been pushing for expansion for a year, and there have been multiple meetings. Well, you are just taking what he says at face value, and not examining it critically. Bad form for a former journalist. Again, I'll point out that this "push" from Fox for expansion didn't come to fruition just last month, at the Spring meetings. If Fox was as gung ho for expansion as this author indicates, you would expect Fox to have made a significant offer. Sorry, but looking at this objectively (as a journalist should do), you simply can't come to the conclusion that this author can be taken as gospel, and the SBJ author can be completely disregarded.
