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:
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“As far as criticism is concerned, we don’t resent that unless it is absolutely biased, as it is in most cases.”
—John Vorster (1915–1983)
“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
