NYT responds to ltte re Ohio vote:

[annabanana]

I quote:

Several hundred other readers have raised similar concerns requesting more coverage on this issue. Mr. Okrent asked me to let you know that he does not believe The Times's coverage of the voting in Ohio is over; please stay tuned.

Sincerely,
Arthur Bovino
Office of the Public Editor
The New York Times

1. That's either a good sign, or a polite brush off n/t

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

2. That is NOT a brushoff!

Man, there is a story there and the gentleman just admitted such, albeit in a guarded manner.

Ooo...interesting.

[troubleinwinter]

3. It means they will cover it starting Jan. 21, 2005

[New Earth]

6. lolll

just like the rest of the House Judiciary members will hold their investigations and have a result in the spring :eyes:

[Pithy Cherub]

15. or potential NYT reporters have not finalized their book deal yet...

LOL! :evilgrin:
On the side of optimism will their be a report that is worthy of the front page before 1/6/05? Hope so!

[Nothing Without Hope]

4. I'd describe it as "coy."

Could be worse, but it would be good to see something better than this lightweight, cryptic flirt.

[SueZhope]

5. This is good news n/t

[merh]

7. This means they are working on something major.

Not a brush off or coy, maybe true investigative journalism for a change.

[StephanieMarie]

8. I've been writing them every day. n/t

9. I used to work for Okrent; if he says they're covering it, they are.

[Pachamama]

10. I love the smell of Napalm in the morning....

...figuratively speaking ofcourse with lots of sarcasm....that answer I see as a very specific answer that it aint' over...

Stay tuned folks....there is something in the air (and it isn't just the stink of the shit sitting in the Oval office...there's more to come...I feel it...)

:bounce:

13. "...it smells like...victory"

n/t

11. Since you do have The Times' ear maybe you can feed them some info

to investigate. PM me

[Patsy Stone]

12. Is this good?

Could it be a "coup de grace" in a bad way? I hope not. I've been looking for Woodstein for months now -- did they move to the NYT? :)

Not over... I tend to like the sound of that, though. I'll light a candle!

[Straight Shooter]

14. As long as Mr. Arnebeck's lawsuit is pending, there is news to be made

And the NYT should cover that news. Also the situation with Mr. Conyers requesting exit poll data is newsworthy.

I like the fact that he mentioned that they were receiving letters. That has something to do with it, too, I hope.

:thumbsup:

[McCamy Taylor]

16. They want a Pulizter

[GetTheRightVote]

17. Nice to see the Times stepping up to the plate, I hope it is soon though

:bounce:

18. "Several hundred other readers have raised similar concerns"

Despite the skepticism I sense, that's the best sentence of them all!
