Citations from parties directly involved[edit]

Am I the only person to think that it is odd that citation from newspapers affected by the strike are given? Superficially, these might be considered biased. The only current sources listed are the NY times, and ONE from the Daily News, both papers being DIRECTLY involved in the affair. Also, lacking the resources to independently verify, it is uncertain of the scope of the citations in relation to the article. For instance, with the citation from the NY Times given for a $38.82 claim by the unions, does this citation also cover the $8 offer by the papers? If they are sourced from different places, it could be that they are a false comparison. The $38.82 claim may include things such as interest, or a value given to 'conditions', where the $8 offer may only include that part of the offer which is monetary. It is hard to fathom. Overall, I question the value of the citations given. 60.240.207.146 (talk) 10:57, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
