1.信的目的是向NYT的读者澄清事实,而不是与记者或编辑争论.
所以Loyal reader。。。often citing。。。shocked一句
放在开头显得有点离题。应尽可能快地让读者知道此信的目的
（以及作者的背景）。比如：
As one of the scholars Mr。Yardley has interviewed for
the report，I feel obligated to clarify certain inaccuracies
and misinformations apeared in the article。。。
2。同意田牛的意见，语气可以再缓和一点。
3。第一句可以考虑放在最后，比如：
As a loyal reader of the New York Times，I have often been citing the Times as the example of good journalism when I criticized bad journalism of Chinese media。I certainly hope I can do the same in the future。
