Fox on Atlantic Yards Eminent Domain Supreme Court Petition

June 19 Fox Cable News broadcast on the cert petition filed with the Supreme Court on the Atlantic Yards eminent domain case. Jeffrey Finkle's comments at the end and the insinuation by the reporter that the plaintiffs are pawns of some agenda and receiving "freel legal counsel" are outright lies, but what would one expect from a guy whose first job out of school was working for Karl Rove. The courageous plaintiffs initiated and have pursued the lawsuit since October 2006. Their suit is financed by thousands of donations from their neighbors in Brooklyn and New York City, as well as themselves.

Finkle should be ashamed of himself, but of course he isn't. Clearly it is he, as the head of the "International Economic Development Council" who has an extreme agenda.
