We're worried about Daily Intelligencer
Today, one of New York's Snarkiest betrayed their sensitive side when they became concerned about the "spooky" silence in their In Box after they didn't receive a press release about the eminent domain ruling from the "normally quick-on-the-draw DDDB."
The emotional tenor of their headline "We're Worried About Develop Don't Destroy" is understandable since the magzine's blog reported, "Yesterday, a state judge threw out Goldstein et al. v. Pataki et al., the linchpin of Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn's anti–Atlantic Yards effort." Uh, NOT!
Daily Intelligencer also headlined its earlier news roundup, "A Bad Day for Daniel Goldstein." We're willing to bet that the only thing making today "A Bad Day" for Goldstein is that the embattled homeowner is spending the morning chasing down erroneous press reports.
UPDATE:
Daily Intelligencer just posted the following, "Our worries were unfounded, and DDDB should be worried about us. We got this totally wrong. There are two eminent-domain cases against Ratner — the federal one, brought on by DDDB, and one on the state level, started by a group of eleven rent-stabilized tenants. This news is about the state case; DDDB's federal action lives on. Apologies to everyone."
We're hearing rumors that "Atlantic Yards Report-er" Norman Oder is preparing a pop-quiz on Atlantic Yards for all metro-area reporters. Be afraid...
