Former Daily News Reporter Claims Bias Toward Atlantic Yards
The NY Observer
In a segment of the Independent Film Channel series Media Project, former Daily News reporter Deborah Kolben says she was barred from writing about Atlantic Yards after the the developers complained about her coverage.
Kolben makes her claim around the 4:21 mark, prompting one of the movie’s narrators to confront Dunn outside his home.
“I don’t even know who you’re talking about,” [Daily News Editor in Chief Martin] Dunn says. When pressed, he adds, “You obviously are not an editor, right? I run a newspaper. I can do what I like.”
NoLandGrab: "I can do what I like?" And we thought this quote was originally attributed to Bruce Ratner!
