Comments for NY Post in Contradiction on City Spending at http://www.urbanelephants.com , comment 1 to 4 out of 4 comments http://www.urbanelephants.com Sun, 21 Mar 2010 19:05:48 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.urbanelephants.com/index.php/home/64/1832-ny-post-in-contradiction-on-city-spending.html#comment-5867 Dawn Eden wrote about her experiences working at the Post in a book review for the Wall Street Journal, http://www.opinionjournal.com/la/?id=110008001 Dawn was told when she gave an interview about her Christian faith that she should not mention that she worked at the Post. Not only is this insulting, it sounds illegal and discriminatory. Elsewhere, she noted that some Post editors had a fear that the paper was perceived as too "right-wing." - Behold a Pale Horse Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:24:24 +0100 http://www.urbanelephants.com/index.php/home/64/1832-ny-post-in-contradiction-on-city-spending.html#comment-5865 I'm not sure I'd buy what is in that lawsuit and/or connect that to the wierd change in editorial slant by the Post, but it seems odd to me that a paper that used to be the paper of fiscal restraint (at least compared to the other existing NYC daily papers) has moved itself to the political center-Left on spending at a time when the country and NY Voters are growing increasingly frustrated with deficit and wasteful spending and the taxation that it takes to support such activity. In my view, it will hurt their readership... - Jay Golub Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:32:41 +0100 http://www.urbanelephants.com/index.php/home/64/1832-ny-post-in-contradiction-on-city-spending.html#comment-5863 Just found this, see http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/nov/11/new-york-post-discrimination-lawsuit - Behold a Pale Horse Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:16:05 +0100 http://www.urbanelephants.com/index.php/home/64/1832-ny-post-in-contradiction-on-city-spending.html#comment-5861 They strike me a paper that now just wants to preserve the post-Giuliani status quo (i.e. low crime) without sticking its neck out. They don't think the GOP has any real future in NYC. You all remember who they backed in the 2002 elections? Their decline might explain why the New York Sun found such a niche with conservative New Yorkers (yes, we are in minority). - Behold a Pale Horse Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:38:00 +0100
