Dave,
Why not tell the WHOLE story about the Wikipedia edits. The NY Times has smeared the Journal, the DNC smears everyone and - hell yeah Fox News is playing this game too-changing the "Fake-ipedia".
Tell the WHOLE story.
Guest.
...considered the founder of modern jazz...
Check that, Dave. It's a founder not the founder. Bit of a difference there!
Hey kids, not only Fox News but folks at the NY Times are hijacking Wikipedia entries.
I guess they report and you decide, huh?
These daily wrap-ups are some of the weakest work at Gothamist, eh?
Beat me to it, Ben. I hope Dave has at least heard of Bird and Diz.
quit nitpicking anal music snobs.
r.i.p. max.
Only one line about Max Roach? he's a master. tune into 89.9 WKCR for RoachRadio all day today (Friday)
Best of luck to Rocky Sullivan's! They were a great Irish dive in Manhattan, and it's a damn shame they got priced out of their old digs. I wish them all the best in Red Hook.
Step #1. The NY Times and Fox News screw around with Wikipedia.
Step #2. Gothamist.com reports ONLY the Fox News side of the story.
Step #3. Gothamist.com loses credibility with its readers.
There's a lesson to be learned there. Is Gothamist.com smart enough to see it?
No they are not
