The Last Word on Standing Room Seats

May 22nd, 2006 | By Jared Blank

Here’s the last word on the now-discredited story (mentioned here twice) about standing room seats that appeared in the NY Times.  The Times’ ombudsman published an article on Sunday explaining how such a flat-out wrong article appeared on page 1 of the Times.  (Answer?  None of the editors really questionned the facts in the article.)  I shall never mention this again. 

Probably.
