Last year Charity Navigator circulated in many cities press announcements
based on their ratings of charities in those areas. The one for Seattle was
picked up by one of our local dailies in a front-page (!) story. My
curiosity was piqued. After some investigation, I circulated a short piece
questioning the Charity Navigator announcement on many grounds. Those
comments are still available online -- see
http://www.tess.org/ON/0310_STATS.html. I sent a note with the link to the
CN employee quoted in the piece, but have not heard anything from them.
