Banker: New York Times Article 'Highly Unfair'

The New York Times recently wrote a highly twisted article on a Chinese cultural show playing in New York City. The article was highly biased; it showered praise on the Chinese Communist Party while criticizing the sponsors of the show: NTDTV, a television station that reports on human rights and is the only TV station independent of Communist Party influence.

Here is the first of much feedback from the audience that completely refutes the New York Times:

Banker Calls New York Times Article about 'Splendor' 'Highly Unfair'

Ron Sablosky read the NY Times article about the Chinese New Year Splendor before attending the show at Radio City on Thursday.

"It was not fair at all," he said. "But, understand, there's a lot of times they do things that are unfair, so this not the first. And if one understands that, then one doesn't worry very much [about] what they say."

Apparently the negative press kept few people away from Radio City, because the show continues to play to a packed, enthusiastic house.

Sablosky was one who was not deterred by the NY Times article. "It certainly did not dissuade us from coming, and I don't think it should dissuade anyone, because it really is highly unfair. And it might even be construed as unethical."

Sablosky, a banker and an executive vice president of Business Outsourcing Solutions, is also trained in law. He saw the show with Mary Ann Oklesson, who works in publishing.

Both Sapolsky and Oklesson had high praise for the show.
