Analysis This NewspapersHow the Papers Defend New York
Newspapers existence tied to the city's economy and Wall Street
Former NY1 reporter Adele Sammarco who is suing the station for sexual harassment got shrink-rapped Wednesday by a psychiatrist hired by NY1 who said she was paranoid, narcissistic and not that smart. Time Warner owner of NY1 paid Dr. Paul Nassar $500-an-hour to evaluate Sammarco "Adele fantasized about being a great reporter," he said. Sammarco had difficulty facing the possibility that "maybe I'm not so great." Nassar also dismissed the opinion of a therapist who testified Sammarco suffered post-traumatic stress disorder after ex-colleague Gary Anthony Ramsay allegedly tried to force a kiss on her. Update: Manhattan jury sides with station

The NYT which has the most readers, by far who depend on Wall Street did not have any room today to examine what effects the reforms would have on them.

Roaches and Good Government Groups
If New York Gets Destroyed by Dysfunctional Albany the Only Things that will be left are Roaches and Good Government Groups
The old pros at the good government groups after no effect on changing Albany are forming yet another group to reinvent themselves Goo Goos Want Lawmakers on the Record for Reform They have no demands for change at this time, there goal at this time is offer an Internet Town Hall platform for incumbents to explain what reforms they believe in. Maybe they should also give Goldman and other bankers a chance to talk about reformers to help individual investors. This new group could be a response to Koch's new reform group New York Uprising to keep the old pros of the good government movement in control of the media, which no doubt helps in their fundraising drives to pay their salaries. Albany 'Reform' Group Led by Koch Lays Out Goals
The actions by the good government groups can hurt more then help. It could mislead the public that something is being done and reduce there anger at Albany. The real problem which the NYT and the good government groups do not understand is there looks like there will be few primaries against incumbents this year than ever before. Petitions start in early June it is already to late to raise money and organized campaigns against incumbents who are responsible for the dysfunctionalism and corruption in Albany Only Way to Change Albany is Put All the Bums in Jail: Incumbents Face Little if Any Opposition at the Polls This Fall
Good Government Groups Addicted to the Press More Than Schumer
Over a year ago True News wrote Reformers Have Their Annual Press Conference . . . Nothing Else we said at that time:
"Every year the well meaning good government groups hold a press conference covered by the media, to plead that the leaders of Albany's corrupt and dysfunctional government change their ways. The public is used to this dance. After the press hits, the pols answer with promises of change, the reformers go home and we end each year with three men in a room cutting member items and a budget deal favorable to the lobbyists and their special interests. Each year we also see a new crop of former elected officials graduate to jail."
Nobody is Running, Most Incumbents Get Free Rides The NYT should be put down for miss information. Incumbents are in no danger losing because most do not have real challengers. NYT story says that is why the men incumbents are on a diet losing weight. All they have to do is wait until June and confirm they have no challenger and the donuts stores will have their long lines back In Albany, Keeping an Eye on the Polls, and the Scales
