Nikki Finke says the New York Observer probably wouldn't be much different to the average eye if it's owned by
Robert De Niro
and his associates. "I am confident, however, that a lot
of NYO's infamous snarkiness would disappear." Current owner
Arthur Carter's
best quality as a newspaper boss "is that he doesn't give a
damn about who or what his editors and writers piss off," writes
Finke. "I swear he actually likes it when his paper gives rich
people (even though he himself is one) a terrible, terrible time.
I'll miss that."
