The Star-Ledger responded that it had presented the Port Authority's figure in its coverage on November 24, December 14 and 15 and on January 1 and 12.

In the Ledger's case, we clearly stand corrected. However, we believe our main point is still accurate. The Ledger's coverage was the exception that proved the rule, especially concerning radio and TV coverage, and newspaper headlines, which tend to set the "buzz" about an issue far more than the inside text of news articles.
