This past Sunday, as I noted, New York Times Public Editor Clark Hoyt, in his column about ACORN, passed on an opportunity to mention Forest City Ratner's bailout of the embattled organization.Linked from his column was his blog, The Public Editor's Journal, which posted the letters referenced in the column.
The blog, unlike the column, accepts comments. I posted the comment at right. (Click to enlarge.) According to the official policy, "Comments are moderated and generally will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive." This one was never approved.
Why is the Times protecting ACORN and Ratner? Your comment was clearly on topic and not abusive.
