Pamela Geller was struck by that ad The New York Times ran the other day, “It’s Time To Quit The Catholic Church“, an “open letter to ‘liberal’ and ‘nominal’ Catholics”.

I was actually thinking about this earlier tonight. Some guy quit Goldman Sachs - and he wrote a scathing letter criticizing them in many ways and making allegations that anyone could make at any company.

The NYT published it as an open letter.

If someone quit the board or a position with the Audubon Society and blasted them in a scathing resignation letter - would the NYT's run it without substantiation?

If the letter was written about Pepsi or GE, would the NYT's run it based on the letter writer's opinion?

I think we know.
