Reply to comment by GunterBoden in Gov. Josh Shapiro to join EPA and Gov. Mike DeWine to give update on East Palestine train derailment site - CBS Pittsburgh by oldschoolskater

Shapiro had the authority to do that when it happened on Ohio? Think carefully now.

Both governors approved the burning. It’s not that difficult. Both governors suck.

You know where you can jam that false equivalence, right?

I’m not sure you know what false equivalency means. Bonus points for Bezos’ paper!

You are literally reposting truth social adjacent BS like it's any better.

Rumble is an online video platform and cloud services business[[2]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_(website)#cite_note-2)[[3]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_(website)#cite_note-3) headquartered in Toronto, Ontario with its U.S. headquarters in Longboat Key, Florida.[[4]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_(website)#cite_note-4) It was founded in October 2013 by Chris Pavlovski, a Canadian technology entrepreneur.[[5]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_(website)#cite_note-:0-5) The cloud services business hosts Truth Social, and the video platform is popular among American right and far-right users. The platform has been described as part of "alt-tech".

So... Maybe no media is without bias and you should shut the truck up

It's a video clip of Shapiro speaking unedited. You're going to keep the blinders on regardless, though.

Blinders my ass. You're twisting the reality that Norfolk Southern was careless, and lacked control of the situation, and as Shapiro asserts, misled both DeWine and himself:

From your own source:

"In a press conference on Tuesday, Governor Mike DeWine said before deciding to implement the controlled release, he and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro spoke with representatives from the railroad who recommended that the controlled release was the best option for the safety of the residents."

""We made the decision to go ahead with the controlled release,” DeWine said."

Yeah. I read it.

The way you framed it is that they were just callously going ahead with the incineration. It does a disservice to journalism.
