The News Not Fit to Print (About Atlantic Yards)
Atlantic Yards blogger Norman Oder discovered there was part of Monday's profile of planning director Amanda Burden that The New York Times deemed not fit to print.
The paragraph, which did make it onto the newspaper's Web site, recounted a panel discussion at which Ms. Burden dismissed Atlantic Yards' opponents as "nostalgic and infantile." (Mr. Oder also knocks the Times for giving Ms. Burden credit for reducing the scale of the Brooklyn project, when the developer had proposed the reduction himself.)

"Nostalgic and infantile," huh? I wonder what her standards are, since project boosters could possibly be guilty of these same offences. Marty seems to want to sacrifice anything to cure the loss of the Brooklyn Dodgers. And Roger Green seems to care more about the personal insults he has received than in providing adequate funding for community groups to analyze the DEIS.
