Another error in The Palm Beach Post today and the irony.


Yesterday, waxing eloquent, in a joint editorial by GateHouse Media and the Post they wrote, “[R]oadways don’t know municipal boundaries” and then today. . .

On page A1 of the print edition, below the fold in a prominent photo caption, are the words “in Lake Worth” about a business that is not ‘in Lake Worth’. That business is located in the Village of Palm Springs but just happens to have a ‘Lake Worth’ mailing address.

An editor should have caught this and changed it to “in Palm Springs” in that caption today. Don’t expect a correction tomorrow. The editor(s) at the Post don’t do that kind of stuff. They should. But they don’t.

And interestingly, just yesterday an editorial was published by GateHouse Media and The Palm Beach Post on the topic of the Palm Beach Planning Transportation Agency headlined, “To curb fatalities, collaborative effort needed for safety of Palm Beach County pedestrians”.

Then there was this from the editorial, when the wheels fall off the bus, so to speak.


Our county continues to grow and still heavily relies on cars, sport-utility vehicles and trucks to move around. . . . [H]eavily-traveled roadways don’t know municipal boundaries, and neither should solutions to this issue.


How clever the editor(s) wrote, “roadways don’t know municipal boundaries”.

And ironic too coming from a newspaper that’s been confusing and misleading the public about “municipal boundaries” for decades.
