Coal Jobs Good-News Discounted

-
Roanoke Times, 11-20-11, pg 3: BIG HEADLINE: Coal jobs at 14-year high in Appalachia. Data show employment has increased even as the government tightens environmental rules.
-
Heartwarming quotes by academics and bureaucrats that jobs are actually increasing because of Obama policies and his threat to “bankrupt any power company that builds a new power plant that burns coal”.
-
BUT then, in small print, at the very end of the article:
However, the current increase in jobs comes amid government projections that coal production in central Appalachia will decline rapidly through the rest of the decade.
-
Doctor to patient on the phone: Your tests show you only had 8 days to live.  The bad news is we've been trying to contact you for the past week.
-
Just more Roanoke Times “bait and switch” biased and slanted journalism!
What a team!
