Open Letter to the New York Times Regarding Coverage of Death of Irish Students (Public Comment)
To: the Public Editor of the New York Times
Re: "Deaths of Irish Students in Berkeley Balcony Collapse Cast Pall on Program"
Shame on you NYT to use the appalling and tragic loss of life of 6 young people to "sell" an article on past issues just as the parents of the dead arrived in the USA. This is gutter journalism at its lowest using drunken Paddy stereotype to apportion blame to dead students and is something you would have expected of a supermarket tabloid or "red top" rag. I hope your "journalists" Adam Nagourney, Mitch Smith and Quentin Hardy are proud of themselves. An apology on the crassness of your “story” is the least you can do.
SHAME SHAME SHAME
