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:
“I hold with the old-fashioned criticism that Browning is not really a poet, that he has all the gifts but the one needful and the pearls without the string; rather one should say raw nuggets and rough diamonds.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“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)
“It is the will of God that we must have critics, and missionaries, and Congressmen, and humorists, and we must bear the burden. Meantime, I seem to have been drifting into criticism myself. But that is nothing. At the worst, criticism is nothing more than a crime, and I am not unused to that.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
