Why The Chorus of Horrahs For Ratner In the NY Dailies?

take your pick:
a. they have never even been to the site and have only heard about it through Forest City/Fat ass Bruce at cocktail parties. (how many could locate it on a map?)
b. Bruce Ratner's companies are financially tied to them (we know this is true with the Times)
c. They are pulling a favor for their pal Bruce, a show of force from the new elite to say 'don't fight us' 'don't question us' you will lose.
d. The New York elite know they are part of a 'system' is top heavy with corruption and the markets are tanking and they are arranging deck chairs on the titanic/fiddling while Rome burns or whatever other similar cliche you can think of.
