Cintra Wilson's "Critical Shopper" Gets a Verbal Spanking from the Times

The Cintra Wilson backlash continues. New York Times Public Editor Clark Hoyt wrote an opinion piece in Saturday's issue that criticizes the inflammatory article and the media/blogging/reader stir it caused. I went to Wilson's blog, where a post, dated Monday, August 17 warns readers that the website will no longer accept further comments via email or posting related to said controversy. (She is, however, keeping up the ones that were already posted.)

No word yet whether the article was her last for the Times, whether JC Penney will be pulling their ads, or of the long-term impact any of this will have on Wilson's career. Stay tuned.
