Mark Twain once said, "If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed." Today's Clarksburg Exponent Telegram headline is a glaring example of Twain's observation

LAWMAKERS: COAL INDUSTRY UNDER SIEGE - Federal regulation cited for drop in jobs, state revenue.

The article goes on to cite the fearmongering of two state senators and one state delegate whose claims sound more like coal industry talking points than fact-based reasoning.
