New Times' vainglorious New York debut continues to play itself out as a couple more key Voice staffers and writers jump ship.
If this Observer piece is any indication, there seems to be agreement among some New York media watchers about what the Voice "used to be like," though I think that's really coming from people who actually lived in NY 30 years ago and read the magazine then. The fact is the Voice has remained competitive with the Times and Washington Post, and it still doesn't address the Ridgeway firing, or hectoring Schanberg, or (for all his faults) chewing out Nat Hentoff. And MY GOD, Lacey's go-team schtick? He had to have been drunk when the Observer interviewed him, because he sounds every bit like the rube some people accuse of being.
