We're #52: thanks, P-D!

Why does the Post-Dispatch dwell on population figures that will likely be challenged and reversed as has happened for the past six years in a row? At least the article was good enough to mention that fact.

Why not entitle the article "Census says #52; city prepared to challenge" if they wanted to stay the least bit neutral? Better yet, why not be outright optimistic and entitle the article "St. Louis's Census slide likely in error".

Now the STL Today forums are abuzz with the talk of the imminent demise of the city.

Yikes.

The story was oddly snarky, too. I thought that the tone was really too negative for the story to be considered fair and balanced.
