Criticism
In July 2007 the Washington City Paper published an expose about Late Night Shots and the associated scene. Late Night Shots members reacted angrily in a series of comments on the Washington City Paper website, calling into question writer Angela Valdez's journalistic integrity and credentials. The accuracy of the City Paper article remains in dispute. Valdez later left the Washington City Paper amid its chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in October, 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“Like speaks to like only; labor to labor, philosophy to philosophy, criticism to criticism, poetry to poetry. Literature speaks how much still to the past, how little to the future, how much to the East, how little to the West.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A bad short story or novel or poem leaves one comparatively calm because it does not exist, unless it gets a fake prestige through being mistaken for good work. It is essentially negative, it is something that has not come through. But over bad criticism one has a sense of real calamity.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
