What did they thinking when they sold their big city liberal anti-Trump website to a guy with such a terrible background? So now they are returning thanks to funding from liberal public radio stations. Do these people have any values beyond generating clickbait for money? They obviously don't care where the next dollar is coming from. I can't wait for the Gothamist beg-a-thons when they interrupt articles about overpriced restuarants with an interstitials selling Frank Sinatra and Downton Abbey DVDs.

But there are things to be considered.<br /><br />It would be nice to know who bailed out the newsblog with WNYC. The last thing the media needs is a (neo)liberal version of Breitbart.<br /><br />Since WNYC is involved, does this mean our tax dollars are paying for what was basically a site promoting exorbitant priced drinking and dining?<br /><br />https://impunitycity.wordpress.com/<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />JQ LLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203861642095498340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-75111773724468066242018-02-23T16:42:49.822-05:002018-02-23T16:42:49.822-05:00This is great news.

I know they sometimes got criticized for aggregating news from other sources, but they were doing a lot of important original reporting as well, and paying attention to many topics few others do. For me, some of these underreported local topics include community board shenanigans, public transit issues, and traffic violence. This is great news; I've missed them a lot and am so happy to see this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-41942253646731806612018-02-23T12:51:54.188-05:002018-02-23T12:51:54.188-05:00Positive media news for a changePositive media news for a changeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
