Both organizations provide not just a valuable service but an invaluable service. To compare Chalkbeat to The Times is really not only unfair but unsubstantiated. Ever since Frank Rich stopped writing his column most of what is in The Times, lately including a poorly written one-sided piece about Eva and charter schools, is completely one-sided on its opinion pages (editorials, op-eds, columnists) except the letters. Every month The Times seems to have a new person or persons covering the city school system; only the still new national education correspondent Mokoto Rich shows some promise. Chalkbeat, as far as I can tell and I spent 16 years as a journalist, provides a great service every day publishing most everything that has been written about the NYC school system. And some, yes I wish there was more but it's expensive, of its reporting is done in the trenches and in detail.<br /> You cite this roommate business that may not be up-to-date but you don't give a solid, important example of how a deform bias creeps into Chalkbeat reporting. To write, "we all know that Chalkbeat is not independent journalism" is a very serious allegation that you do not support. Now that is irresponsible journalism.john fagerhttp://johncfager.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-89685901220323178202014-10-25T06:18:08.771-04:002014-10-25T06:18:08.771-04:00Correct me if you think I'm wrong, Norm.

My take----the greedy pigs slurping from the public trough want you to notice that they dotted their "i"s and crossed their "t"s and put on some lipstick....but they are still greedy pigs slurping from the public trough.
