Dolans Censoring Newsday

John Koblin at The New York Observer reports on Newsday's new policy for the sports section...

"Newsday has a new policy for its sports page. The paper’s editors have told their writers there has to be a new, softer tone. They don’t want loaded words. They don’t want name-calling. They don’t want stories to be unnecessarily harsh."

This new policy has been initiated less than two years into the ownership of Newsday by James and Charles Dolan, the Cablevision execs who also own the Knicks and Rangers.

...the Dolans are worse than Isiah Thomas at destroying things. I guess that's why they liked the former Knicks coach so much.

...i'd love to hear Steve Zipay's take on this.

Talk about a conflict of interest. How can anyone take Newsday's sports coverage seriously when it's owned by the owner of the Rangers and Knicks. Their attempt at making people pay to read online remains a miserable failure, and now this.
