Meanwhile, just hours after the scathing Times review appeared in print, the paper’s ad department held a dinner for 200 clients in Fieri’s restaurant — an awkward wrinkle to the story.

Why is that so shocking or awkward? Wells doesn't speak for the NYTimes anymore than any other critic does. If A.O. Scott pans a particular movie, does that mean that no one from the Times should go see it?
