This time, it's based on an error it didn't check from a newspaper.
The mag claims that, if built, Salt Lake City would be the site of the only "inland port" between the Mississippi and the Pacific.
Having reported about plans for the Dallas Inland Port before they came to fruition, and blogged about it, and shenanigans related to it., and having known that original developer Richard Allen had this plan based on the big inland port he'd already built in the Bakersfield, California, area, I knew this wasn't true. This story about inland ports, froim a trade journal, lists others west of the Mississippi, too.
The error was originally in the SLCTrib, by a guy who worked in Reno before that, and seems to have been around enough he should have done more fact-checking. Or he simply should have heard about Allen's California site. Allen's website shows both, plus the KC hub he also owns.
On Twitter, I've asked both the Trib and HCN to correct. Asked HCN on Facebook as well.
HCN has responded on Facebook; said it would contact the Trib.
So ... you have different people running your Facebook and Twitter accounts, at an outfit your size? That's weird itself.
