Did the New York Times Respond to Moi?

Today Michael Cooper did a great Times piece that, for a very refreshing change, essentially called Rudy a liar.  I humbly wonder if this in some way could have stemmed from my correspondence with Cooper.

On Monday of this week a Times article by Cooper and Michael Luo on Romney and Giuliani had merely repeated the charges and counter-charges of each campaign about whether crime had gone down in Massachusetts while Romney was Governor.  

Paul Waldman wrote a piece in Tapped about this "he said/he said" approach and I emailed Cooper with a link to it::

The link below contains an excellent suggestion with respect to your piece today and Romney and Giuliani's charges on crime in Massachusetts: that is -- find out which one of them is telling the truth and report that. As pointed out in the link, the truth is ascertainable easily on line. Thanks.

Cooper replied to me:

Saw it. Thanks. We will likely be revisiting the issue.

I answered him and sent another link from TPM about Giuliani's lies (about crime during Kerik's 18 months as police chief).

This was summarized in my diary on Tuesday.

Today -- Cooper has an extensive article documenting many of Giuliani's lies that has been widely linked.  

It's nice to have some real reporting, especially after the recent execrable examples from Time/Klein and the WaPo on Obama.

(If he keeps it up, I will forgive Cooper for not giving me (and Waldman) credit)
