| A front-page "ANALYSIS" in The Record today credits four officials and declares that NJ Transit bus commuters no longer face long lines and delays in returning home from the Port Authority Bus Terminal in midtown Manhattan, above. Now, will the Woodland Park daily finally take notice of the shortage of rush-hour seats on NJ Transit trains? |

In The Record's front-page story on Governor Christie's weight loss, experts note a candidate needs "to look like the part they are running for."
But the story never explains why Record reporters covering Christie's campaign in 2009 and his inauguration completely ignored his weight and whether he was fit to serve.
That may be because after working side-by-side with at least two obese editors in the newsroom, the reporters covering Christie didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
And that continued for years as only the national media tried to find out how much Christie weighed, and late-night comedian David Letterman guessed the GOP bully had ballooned to 400 pounds.
See this Eye on The Record post from 2011:
Guess how much Christie weighs
Better or not?
A front-page story last Wednesday and another one today declare an end to long lines and afternoon rush-hour delays for NJ Transit bus riders leaving the midtown Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan (A-1).
But Jay Holahan of Teaneck says in a letter to the editor today:
"As a 25-year commuter, I don't recognize any immediate improvements ...." (A-13).
News or snooze?
Residents of Hackensack, Teaneck, Englewood and many other Bergen towns won't find anything about them in Local today.
The lead story in the section is a controversial proposal to replace Memorial Field in far-off Washington Township with artificial turf (L-1).
The local editors needed another Dean's List to fill their pages (L-2).
Poor food choices
Free-lancer Kate Morgan Jackson's list of a dozen "great food stores" for home cooks omits Whole Foods Market, Costco Wholesale and two of the best, Jerry's Gourmet & More and Balthazar Bakery, both in Englewood (BL-1).
Jackson appears unwilling to stray too far from her Upper Saddle River home.
On Wednesdays, the food blogger also supplies Better Living with unhealthy recipes, many filled with artery clogging cream and butter.
