The Times, Channeling The Brooklyn Standard, Runs Free Ad Insert for Bruce Ratner
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
Apparently it wasn't enough for the NY Times to devote a fluffy front page article to Jay-Z's 0.0666% ownership of the Brooklyn Nets. Three days later the paper of record became Ad Week, running a 3-page photo spread in the 8-page Saturday sports section promoting the Nets' marketing campaign.
Reminds us quite a lot of Forest City Ratner's fake tabloid The Brooklyn Standard.

In case you missed The Times's latest photo essay, in which they forgot to disclose their business relationship with the Nets' arena builder/operator and minority owner.
