Not a very detailed article. They don’t even mention Evans. This reads like a check the box piece. Shame.[/quote]

Agreed. Crap journalism that doesn’t even reference the various nuggets unearthed by DCUM posters. It also leads with Maret’s counter-arguments. We need the Sun to start covering DC. WaPo is useless at it.[/quote]

It took the WaPo a long time to finally get this in print and it’s really badly written.  “ Person x said everyone at the community meeting hated the Maret deal.  But the Maret head of school said everyone was very positive about the deal.”  Nothing included that a reporter might do to ascertain which opinion was true (or closer to the truth).  The reporter went to Georgetown Day and it looks like she took everything the head of school of Maret said as Gospel.[/quote]

She termed the opponents “an angry coalition” — that’s inappropriately perjorative.[/quote]
I had to laugh when I read the sentence that Talbott said about Maret being a good partner to the community because they let a public school use Jelleff for one hour a week on Wednesdays.  Yup, that’s the socially responsible Maret we all know and love.   :roll: [/quote]
