"Mad overkilling" a response to Atlantic Yards neglect
Atlantic Yards Report
So, why didn't the New York Times or the New York Post, both of which sent reporters, publish articles about the federal court hearing Wednesday regarding the Atlantic Yards eminent domain case?
I can only speculate. Maybe space was tight. Maybe the Times was handicapped because the one Times reporter who'd actually gained expertise on Atlantic Yards, during more than a year of reporting, was promoted to Albany. Maybe the Post didn't want to distract from the day's crime-heavy local coverage.
Still, the Sun, the Daily News, Metro, and amNY, among others, managed to find news in the hearing.
Norman Oder scours "all the print that fits the news" for courtroom coverage that the papers deemed more important or relevant to their readers.
NoLandGrab: We still contend that backstage celebrity cat fights at Fashion Week are probably more important than the "little people" who ought to be "picketing Henry Ford" rather than standing in the way of progress.
