Disney Theme Park is NOT Coming to SW Missouri

I mentioned earlier about the rumors circulating that Disney is considering opening a theme park in SW Missouri based on the "address" of one of the participants. While the info is still sketchy right now, we have a more definitive report that Disney does NOT have any such plans.

But I like the comment left on that news page directed towards the news media:

So... are any of the journalists in this region capable of contacting Disney themselves for comment? I've seen two stories that debunk Disney's involvement, both of which hinge on Commissioner Jerry Carter's claim that he spoke to someone unnamed at Disney who said it's not true. That's abysmal reporting. Guys, Disney is listed in the phone book. 818 area code. Burbank, California. This story has *one* source -- Jerry Carter. Pathetic.

Right on! Don't media reporters do "research" on the validity of a story anymore?

Zz.
