Media matters would have done better to explain why the NYT and Daily News reported the issues as well. And didn’t investigate for themselves the claims. And doesn’t explain Marcia Kramer’s investigation at Ch. 2 showing Department plows running with their plows up - not plowing snowbound streets.

The whole slowdown thing seems a little overblown and the original claims were very poorly sourced. As for the plows up thing; I see it all the time. Maybe they were going somewhere. Maybe they were going down the street to turn around and plow the other direction. Maybe it was the end of their shift and they were going back to base. Maybe they were just being lazy.
