NYP Vs. John Liu

 

The Daily News Has Joined the NYP in Attacking John Liu
NYP & DN Supported Yassky for Comptroller
When Rich Publishers Fight

"Who's auditing the auditor?" the Daily News asks in an editorial taking Comptroller John Liu to task for blunders like revealing an ongoing part of investigators' CityTime probe.  The DN does not talk about how the mayor has said the contractor has done a good job or the 1000% increase in the cost from the original contract agreement. Or the fact that 7 people have been indicted for stealing money with more arrests expected.  Why is the Daily News interested in why no city official has been arrested in the CityTime scandal.  Both the NYP and Daily News have attacked Liu in recent days for not paying campaign poster fines. Liu has gone after the NYP by canceling a contract between the Department of Education and Murdoch new education company headed by Joe Klein. The Daily News Zuckerman who with his Boston Properties builds office building with pension funds.  We wonder what is going on with the city's pension funds and Zuckerman.

Payoff to Murduch
 Klein's Conflict of Interest


Interesting silence by NYT and, not surprisingly, NYP and WSJ on possible conflict of interest in Murdoch/Klein's no-bid state education contract.


A no-bid contracts by the New York State Department of Education(DOE) awarding $27 million to Wireless Generation, a company owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. and headed up by former New York City school chancellor, Joel Klein, smacks of cronyism. It is clear that Klein used his contacts with the DOE to win the contract without a bid. It is also clear that the contract was a payoff to Murdoch for NYP support for the mayor's quest for a third term.
The contract money – part of the state’s $700 million in Race to the Top winnings – will go to Wireless Generation, owned by Rupert Murdoch‘s News Corp., to develop software to track student test scores, among other things. Klein took a job at News Corp. overseeing their educational technology business after he left the chancellor job in December.
