The Record today calls on burned-out Columnist Mike Kelly to report on a Jersey shore that still has a long way to go on the road to recovery (Page 1).
Of course, this piece was sorely needed as a counterpoint to the wildly exaggerated front-page coverage on Saturday that was orchestrated by Governor Christie and the "Today" show.
Now, it amounts to furious backpedaling by Editor Marty Gottlieb, a New Yorker who is so enamored of the GOP bully and so solidly behind his bid for a second term.

This Memorial Day edition is a good time to take a break from all of this amateurish journalism.
As usual, readers' letters today tell you more about North Jersey than news and opinion editors do.
Edith and Gordon Wallace of Glen Rock bemoan the wrong-headed decision by Tenafly officials to reject light-rail service, and by some residents to oppose an education building at the nature center (A-11).

ReplyDeleteThat's just racist bullshit. I wonder why you don't have the courage to identify yourself. You're not only a coward, you're delusional.
ReplyDeleteLight rail eases traffic congestion and cuts pollution. Tenafly could have easily accommodated light rail, without adding parking downtown, by using the same type of shuttle system that has been successful at the ferry in Edgewater.
What a miserable racist comment. Shame on you.
