Groups receiving FCR aid say more positive stories should be written about FCR's project
Atlantic Yards Report
You know supporters are getting squeamish when they can't stand criticism about their favorite project, especially when they're still ahead of the game:
The article, headlined "Yards proponents: Leave Bruce alone" (not online yet), began by casting Forest City Ratner and its partners as the underdog:
Local supporters of the Atlantic Yards project charged last week that the community is being choked out of any positive coverage occurring between developer Forest City Ratner Companies (FCRC) and the local community.
Well, "the community" isn't being choked, because it's hard to define what exactly "the community" is. Yes, most of the coverage lately has been critical, but that could be attributed to the understanding that, while many arguments have been made in favor of jobs and housing, elected officials have become more concerned about arena security and even Deputy Mayor Dan Doctoroff acknowledges that the process was inadequate.
