NYT: Elitism > Liberalism

I sent a letter to the NYT today.
The word "refugee" offended me before Jesse Jackson's comment hit the media. But the snotty tone of Scott Shane's article is really not objective. You can find it here.

Here's the letter:

Dear Editors,

I was dismayed by the condescending tone of Scott Shane's article "After Failures, Government Officials Play Blame Game." Mr. Shane’s choice of words makes it quite clear that he disapproves of the ongoing discussion about who is to blame for disaster. From the phrase “ blame game” to characterizations of “sniping” to his interpretative words “a clear slap at Mr. Chertoff,” Mr. Shane’s tone delegitimizes discussion of responsibility, disrespects the anger that naturally accompanies grief, and ignores the inevitable spin from an Administration that has used any means necessary to shift blame away from itself. Discussion of blame, contrary to the Administration’s spokesmen, does not harm ongoing evacuation, rescue, or fundraising efforts, and Mr. Shane should reserve his opinion for the editorial page or articles clearly marked “News Analysis.”
