Cartoon Friday: All Aboard!

Advocates for High Speed Rail, especially those that read the independent California High Speed Rail Blog, have long complained that the Los Angeles Times has it in for what the paper of record constantly refers to as "the Bullet Train."

Almost all their articles about CAHSR have a negative tilt to them.
