Contradictions
75%
Examples:
- The article states that John Orr has a non-compete agreement with Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), but does not disclose the terms of this agreement or how much CPKC will receive for releasing him from it. This information should be disclosed to give readers a clear understanding of the financial implications of Orr’s departure from CPKC.
- The article states that Norfolk Southern has agreed to pay $25 million for a waiver of non-compete provisions and other ‘financial and commercial considerations’, but does not provide any further details on what these considerations are or how much money is being exchanged. This lack of transparency makes it difficult for readers to fully understand the financial implications of Orr’s departure from CPKC.
- The article states that Norfolk Southern has faced harsh scrutiny since the derailment of its train carrying hazardous materials in East Palestine, Ohio, more than a year ago. However, this statement is not supported by any evidence or facts presented in the article. It is simply an assertion made without any context or backing.
