Sydney Schanberg American Journalist Quotations

There's something inside Lacey that led him to think this was an adversary group before he ever had a serious conversation with members of the staff.

Lacey said if he wanted to read a daily or regular critiques of the Bush administration, he would read the New York Times, and that's not what he wanted in the Village Voice.

I asked him, How could we have a press column if we can't write about other work done in the press?

What happened was very sad. Mr. Lacey told the staff that he was disappointed and appalled that the front of the book was all commentary and that he wanted hard news.

Lacey had this huge chip on his shoulder. He walked into the room thinking that the people didn't welcome him and didn't like him. He gave the impression that he didn't understand the Voice and New York, and he didn't want to.

I don't see any move toward international pressure to stabilize the situation.

As I understand it, Lacey has dismissed all of the fact checkers.
