Dear Editors:
For my journalism students interested in how subjectivity creeps into
news reporting, I'll be recommending Bruce Eggler's "Audubon CEO Says
Salary Did Not Leap." His characterization of Save Audubon Park as "the
year-old organization devoted to criticizing practically everything done
by the Audubon Commission and the Audubon Nature Institute" in the lead
is about as brazen as it gets in reader manipulation. Cheers to our
conservative daily paper in its ongoing efforts to bring this liberally
democratic city its news with some style. Please tell us what you really
think, Mr. Eggler.
