This is an unfortunate development for NYC journalism. Cardwell, who was assigned to the Ferrer campaign early on in 2005, wrote a series of puff pieces, perhaps as a result of her close personal relationship with his consultant, Jen Bluestein. Then it seemed that Pat Healy took over campaign coverage, and as we know, he was roundly criticized by the Ferrer team after the fact. Are we to conclude that sucking up to pols is the fastest route to promotion at the NYT?
Rutenberg was great at City Hall, no question. Good luck to him.
