Í gær benti félagi minn mér á ritstjórnargrein nýjasta tölublaðs Grapevine. Ég get ekki stillt mig um að koma henni á framfæri við þá sem hingað villast. Hér er smá úrdráttur:

Interviewing Reykjavík Independence Party Chairman Vilhjálmur Þ. Vilhjálmsson, our journalist was told that the future of urban living in Reykjavík involved lots of land filling, single-family houses, and the acceptance of the fact that Icelanders weren’t cut out for public transit, because of bad weather—instead, when the city expands, we should look forward to a cross-town expressway.
As editor of the Grapevine, and as a journalist before that, I have tried not to take a firm political stance in my writing. But in more than a few cases, simply quoting the bizarre rhetoric of otherwise sane and goodly public servants makes these people come off badly. As the public servants we typically interview are in the government in power, the Independence/ Progressive Alliance, it begins to seem as though we have a bias against them. Therefore, we have decided not to run the city planning piece yet—we are going to do our best to interview all parties in the hope that they might all be equally… regressive.

Og hér er greinin í heild sinni.
