WaPo Slow to Train Crash

Posted by Erik Wemple on Jun. 22, 2009, at 6:12 pm

At this moment, Dr. Gridlock is in the vanguard of Washington Post coverage of this afternoon's train mishap in Northeast D.C. The item credits WJLA-TV and CNN for key facts on the accident.

Here's one commenter from the washingtonpost.com on the matter:

How is the Washington Post being scooped about a potentially serious metro rail collision? This happened about 45 minutes ago, and it's still in little print at the bottom of the Post web page. Come on guys. Surely you haven't all taken the buy out?

   Seriously Wemple? Six people dead, and instead of covering that horrendous tragedy, you write about the Post?

   Goodness you're a dickhead. Will someone at Creative Loafing fire this incompetent piece of shit already.
