I did notice that NPR did not really tell his side of this tale, but added a few selected quotes that were rather inflammatory in this context.
e.g. "In a press conference at his apartment building Friday, Doroshin called the city's decision to dissolve the partnership "dirty power politics" and alleged it was part of a political conspiracy. He said that if given the chance, he wouldn't have done anything differently.
It's a quote that sounds like he's a bitter, self-absorbed, crazy person. Could indeed be true, but given that the Principle of Charity is not a journalistic practice, we did not learn his argument and cannot judge for ourselves.
Unfortunately, NPR is considered among the best of US news.
