from the paging-WALL-E dept.

Sanitation crews are working hard to dispose of six months' worth of garbage from a community the size of Wahpeton or Valley City. The mountains of debris need to be moved before the spring thaw occurs.

Making a dent in the immense amount of trash being hauled out of the Oceti Sakowin protest camp is being hindered by the weather. All the garbage that was left behind is now frozen into massive chunks of junk.

In a month, all this trash could become toxic.

[...] It's estimated it will take 250 trucks filled with litter to clear the camp.

    The article is crap.
    This isn't reporting.
    This is stenography.
    The idiot showed up, wrote down what Morton County's Reactionary officials said, then published it without any actual investigation.

    There isn't a single word about any examples of what EXACTLY is in the trash that will magically turn "toxic".
    N.B. Sara Berlinger is NOT a good source of useful information.
    Neither is KFYR TV5 in Bismarck, ND.

    .
    To avoid giving a pagehit to the stupid clickbait article, I got a Google cache of it. [googleusercontent.com]

    At first, I thought all the content was behind scripts. Nope, that wasn't it.
    To see the content, I had to open my AdBlocker and un-hide ##div.leftcolumn (ALWAYS bloat and useless garbage on a page--until I hit this stupid page).

    So, their web guy is an idiot as well.
    In an HTML-only presentation, the page's boilerplate text is a mess.
    Some text overlaps other text, making that stuff unreadable.
    133 errors in less than 8kB of content! [w3.org]

    A worse page than this one may exist somewhere but I haven't seen a rival for this awfulness (both content and construction) in a long, long, long time.
    If you come across any of these names ever again, you should avoid them like the plague.

    BTW, here's the archive.li page [archive.li] (that someone had already asked for).

      You are absolutely right.
      gweg disgraced himself by trying to make a critique of the html of the website into a critique of the accuracy of the reporting.
      fuck you gweg, you are part of the problem.

      Here is some relevant criticism of the reporting. [thedailyhaze.com]

      They claim the county is just moving trash around the area, not actually clearing it. I have no idea about the site's reliability, they obviously have a point of view though.

        The page, in both content and construction, demonstrates that KFYR has no clue what it looks like when a person does his/her job correctly.

          In response to being criticized you double on what you what you were criticized for.
