Here's another accurate posting on the dailygazette.com (seen here: http://dailygazette.com/news/2008/dec/19/1219_forecast/)



What exactly is a "Transportation Federation" and why does NY State have one? We already have a Department of Transportation:

You do have a good eye for this stuff. And you are correct...what the heck is the 'transportation federation'? It clearly says  'New York State Department of Transportation'.

Well, I guess I stand corrected ... they have shoved another layer of Govt down our throats and we never even knew it.  I guess I'm not surprised.

To the editors of the Gazette, I apologize - it appears your wording was correct, if this Federation was ever indeed formed.

Just thought I would post this here, since it shows some more bias from the Gazette.  If you would like it posted somewhere else, please move it to the appropriate place.  If this was Bush, it would be front page news for the Gazette...

It looks like President Obama hasn't gotten acquainted to his White House surroundings. On the way back to the Oval Office Tuesday, the President approached a paned window, instead of the actual door -- located a few feet to his right.

Doors didn't open automatically for Obama’s predecessor either. While making a hasty exit from a 2005 press conference in Beijing, former President George W. Bush tugged on the handles of a door, only to find it locked.

Bush laughed off the blunder, but the pictures still live on as part of Bush's lame duck legacy. However, there was little note taken of Obama's rookie mistake.

Obama, who was returning from meeting with Congressional leaders, may have been distracted by Republicans' icy reception to his $825 billion stimulus package, which is poised to pass on Wednesday even without a groundswell of Republican support.

The Daily Gazette did a story on a clearance sale in the Crosstown Plaza today. The error isn't in the "reporting" of the sale, rather the video that accompanied it on the website.

The link to the story is here: http://www.dailygazette.com/news/2009/feb/20/0220_Sale/

The video, http://www.dailygazette.com/videos/2009/feb/20/141/ by Gazette video/Jeff Wilkin uses, presumably Jeff Wilkin (Link to bio: http://www.dailygazette.com/staff/jeff-wilkin/)  as the reporters voice.

"We're doing a story for the Schenectady Gazette"

Are they changing their name again - or are their "reporters" unaware that the Daily Gazette changed their name several years ago?
