No surprise here.
KSTP official defends story on Ironworld; no retraction
They’re sticking with the factually incorrect and misleading story they ran July 7 that implied that state taxpayers were getting robbed by the existence of Ironworld, even though the facility was operating with the Iron Range’s own mining revenue and is now fiscally solvent as a nonprofit.
They’re still wrong, but they’re in TV and we aren’t. TV is awesome and so are they. Tom Rukavina is threatening to take this to the News Council, an impartial, non-binding process that reviews journalistic practices. KSTP says they don’t participate in News Council. I don’t blame them; if they did, they would be at News Council 24 hours a day.
Hacks. Let’s move on.
No wonder why their newscast is at the bottom in the ratings.
