Today's NYT features an article: "On West Coast, a Lesson Plan for Ferrer Bid" in which DIANE CARDWELL and JONATHAN P. HICKS quote Ydanis A. Rodriguez as saying that Freddy has not been able to consolidate the latino vote. It turns out, Hicks used the same source in a May 9th article to demostrate the same point (OFF THE TRAIL; For Ferrer? Not So).

So who is Ydanis? Well he has run for council in 01 and 03 in Harlem, and is a teach and an education activist. But more importantly, his brother Carlos Rodriguez WORKS FOR the Manhattan Borough President, C. Virginia Fields! So they use the same source twice in two weeks and never mention the source's link to Virginia through his brother?

Now the argument that Ferrer does not have strong Latino support may or may not be accurate, but to build it on one source connected with Fields? Puuuleassssse is this the best the NYT can come up with?
