A couple of websites I’ve come across credit the ‘New York Times’ for reporting that 12,000 women a year are arrested for breastfeeding in public. I could not confirm that number with a quick search, but even 1,200 would be too many – or even 12.

My worry about the New York Times is that it’s got the only position as a national elitist general-interest paper. So the network news picks up its cues from the Times. And local papers do too. It has a huge influence. And we’d love to challenge it.

R. J. Cutler
The war in Vietnam was not lost in the field, nor was it lost on the front pages of the ‘New York Times’ or the college campuses. It was lost in Washington, D.C.

The belief that men and women are different, the decision to date a Christian girl, and the audacity to disagree with one’s liberal friends suggest a radicalism so dangerous it merits a New York Times investigation.

Brad Feld

In 2010, I ran for Congress in a Democratic primary against someone who had been there for 18 years. ‘The Daily News’ endorsed me. I was in ‘The New York Times’ above the fold. CNBC called this one of the hottest races in the country. On election day, votes for me never went past 19%. I lost.

Back in 2001, my first start-up was mentioned in the ‘New York Times’ and ‘USA Today.’ I figured that would drive thousands of visitors to the site and tons of new business. Instead, only a handful of people visited our site, and not much business came of it at all.

Mark Feuerstein
I think the ‘New York Times’ reviews overall tend to overlook popular fiction, whether you’re a man, woman, white, black, purple or pink. I think there are a lot of readers who would like to see reviews that belong in the range of commercial fiction.
Jodi Picoult

John Lahr

Allan Gurganus
I never set out to do this – getting to No. 1 in the ‘New York Times’ bestseller list wasn’t even a pipedream.
