Fearing Wal-Mart Will Bring Too Much of the Outside In
Jump to Comments
“The reason a lot of us came to live in Monsey is because we wanted to raise our families in a safe place, away from the influences of the outside world,” said Yossi Weinberger, 30, a father of four who works at a local travel agency. “I’m not sure it will be easy to do it if we have such a gigantic piece of the outside world move to our town.” NYtimes.com

I am quoted in the story as Shlomo Zalman.
The reporter took my comments somewhat out of context. Nothing surprising coming from the NYTimes (or any major media for that matter.)
I told her I supported the store. But her angle was that everyone is against it, so she made my comments appear that way.
Even my comments she used were not a direct quote, even though she put it in the paper as a direct quote. She took my answers and rewrote it as a direct quote.
The quote “I don’t know if I would shop there” I did not give at all.
