The NY Times: All the News WE See Fit to Print
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn: Apparently DDDb is so frustrated with the NY Times's incessant coverage of the West Side Stadium and virtual blackout on coverage of Ratner's plan that they have resorted to rewriting last weekend's lengthy editorial in order to point out the issues that run parallel between the two controversial developments. Topics covered: The Plan, The Money, The Process, The Olympics.

Shabnam Merchant's letter to the Editorial Board of the NY Times points out that their editorial board has "flatly refused" to meet with DDDb when all of the other dalies and the Wall St. Journal has.
NLG has beat up on The Times before on this page because as readers are well aware, you have to read the local Brooklyn Papers, Daily News and Post in order to get news on this issue. We don't mean to imply that the oversight by The Times has anything to do with the fact that they are business partners with Forest City Ratner in their new headquarters (NY Times will own and occupy the lower floors and FCR will own and lease out the upper floors).
