The Times corrects DePlasco's railyard misinformation
Atlantic Yards Report
Looky here! The Times just got around to correcting an egregious week-old lie by Atlantic Yards snake-oil salesman Joe DePlasco.
Six days after allowing Forest City Ratner flack Joe DePlasco to say, "“Most of Atlantic Yards is being built over the Long Island Rail Road," the New York Times finally publishes a correction:
about 40 percent of the project — not “most” of it — is being built over a railyard.Actually, it's not being built yet either.
For what it's worth, I filed a request for a correction last Wednesday night, shortly after the article appeared online--it was published Thursday--and again yesterday.
