Here it is, in bold relief

The phenomenon that I illustrated with the video of Winston Churchill yesterday.  The New York Times, which used to be considered the paper of record, is now nothing but a Democrat Propaganda Organ.  You can't sum it up better than what David Carr did himself with this quote:

The problem with “Glenn Beck” is that it has turned into a serial doomsday machine that’s a bummer to watch.

I don't watch Glenn Beck.  But if anything of what he says is true, what is wrong with pointing that out?  It is not politically convenient, that's what's wrong with it.  David Carr isn't doing his readers any favors.  No, the favors he's doing belong to the Democrats, who he serves.  He isn't informing anybody.  He's giving his readers the mushroom treatment and patting himself on the back for his cleverness.

As for lack of viewership, The New York Times, of all publications, should not be saying anything.  Glenn Beck seems a lonely man these days, according to the Times.  He may well be, if people just won't consider that this apocalyptic vision may be true.

“When I first came here,” he told his audience on Wednesday, “I had this pie-in-the-sky belief that if I told you the truth, if I verified all of my facts and double-checked, and we could make that compelling case with facts to back it up, the journalists in other places would get curious and they’d use their resources and they’d investigate and they’d prove it right and they’d show it too.” Then he shook his head and laughed bitterly. 

If he believed that, part of his problem is being a little naive.  I don't believe the media is capable of being honest, especially the New York Times.
