Belated Correction:

Scott (who is far more attuned to New York journalism than I'll ever be) kindly pointed out an error in last month's post about the NY Press guy who turned out to be a satanist:

"Alan Cabal was not the editor of NYPress who resigned; Jeff Koyen was. After the Pope piece ran, Cabal wrote a nasty letter to Koyen in which he resigned his position as a staff writer in protest of such a poor piece running in the paper -- a symbolic exercise more than anything, since Cabal had written, like, one piece for them in the past two years. Koyen wrote an especially juvenile reply to Cabal's resignation, and the Press saw fit to print both in their letter column, which is a sadly accurate reflection of the tragic disrepair into which the paper has fallen."

This is why I try to avoid using facts when I blog.
