Is MTV's The City merely a propaganda tool used by insecure West Coasters to exact revenge against the totally awesome and superior island of Manhattan? Let's consider it! From the Times' engrossing review of the realityish show: "The City is not the advertisement for New York that 'The Hills,' with its dreamily shot opening-credit sequence, is for Los Angeles. There seems to be West Coast bias at play because Manhattan is made to look boxy and claustrophobic and, so far at least, is evoked primarily by images of the meatpacking district at night." [NYT]
