Abstract

Times Letters Unfit to Print
Massing, Michael | April 16, 2001 issue

add to cart   close window

The article comments on the presentation of news covered by the New York Times in its newspaper and thus states, how misfit are the writings of reporters and editors to the actual news account. The "Letters" page in Times has a reputation of being the nation's liveliest as it reads several opinions and commentaries from top government officials on great issues but what one never finds here is substantive criticism of the Times itself. When somebody tries to show the real picture and comments on their wrong presentation, they are not published and were paid attention, and if at all they get published, they are worded so delicately that they couldn't clearly state that the article of Times is being criticized.
