There is news to report on the NYC microradio scene, this reporter just never looked for it, or didn't look very hard. Apparently, he read some blog post with someone complaining about interference and ran with it. Everyone should know by now to be skeptical of things they read on blog posts, but this reporter does not. If you look up FCC enforcement actions in NYC, you have a story. If you interview microradio folk in NYC I am sure you can find a story. This reporter did neither, and his "story" is not a story, just an invoice to a Times editor.
