If the NY Times thinks this issue facing them is that “they’re not watching enough FNC,” they’re wrong. The issue is that this story was out there BEFORE it made it’s way to Beck’s desk… and the NYTimes should have been all over it. At what point did the newspapers (and especially this newspaper) decide it’s role was to play catchup?

Where is their spirit of journalistic inquiry? Where is their effort? Do they wait on the sidelines because they simply don’t investigate Democrats… or have they simply forgotten how do to anything more than regurgitate AP stories?

This is the NYTimes saying, “We know we’re behind, but on some of these stories, we’re going to stay behind… and let FNC (and other networks) do the work for us.” If that’s really their idea of “fixing the problem,” they have signed their own death certificate.

If that poor editor is forced to watch Fox News 4,5 or 6 hours per day, several days per week, that editor just may learn what we, the “idiots” have learned. There is more than one side or view to any given story. What if that editor figures out why we are so pissed off at our news presenters and analysts as well as government and completely agrees with us. Next thing you know, he/she will vote conservative or at least consider all options with an open mind.
Dayum, I hadn’t smoked that stuff in 25 years. It really is more potent then I remembered.
Back to reality.

The New York Times bears watching, too, and thankfully Fox News is there to report on what they say in their newspaper and what they don’t say. It’s the height of arrogance to think that everyone at the NYT is somehow ‘angelic’ and full of good intentions. In point of fact, the reason the NYT is not eager to go up against Fox News is because Fox News will gladly go toe to toe with them and uncover rocks the Times would rather not have uncovered.

I’m just glad that Dan Abrams has become more visible on his own site. He’s the only reason I ventured here in the first place. A voice of sanity in a business inhabited by its share of loons.

Jim, Jim I think I am sometimes consertative about some issues. Really, honest. I just can’t watch Fox anymore. I did years ago but it has really gone to the dark side these days!!!

Hi Pam1151, I get it that what Glynnis said is what both you and she think, but it bothers me when someone presents a story in such a blatantly biased manner. It’s kind of laughable that Glynnis takes umbrage with Glenn Beck when she does the same thing. Liberals always set themselves up as somehow being above the prejudices of more conservative people, but in reality, they are every bit as nasty and biased. That said, Pam1151, you are awesome and I love reading your posts and I would never in a million years think that our disagreements are anything but friendly jousts. :)

@JimW Glynnis is saying exactly what I think of Beck. But I agree with her, that we ignore him at our own peril. It is much better to know what is going on with someone’s brain than NOT.

Glynnis completely outdoes her usual incomprehensibly biased and lunatic self with this line: “You may not like Glenn Beck, you may think he is a nut job. You may think what he does is not journalism, you may think that in a perfect world of objective, reasoned, researched news reporting he should not have a place.” Truthfully, I think that Glynnis should hang it up and apply for a job at ACORN.

I think by “us,” the writer means the average media-employed New Yorker. I can’t think of anyone who’s actually watched Glenn Beck, other than now you, Dan, but most people just wildly hate on Fox because of the soundbytes they see on The Daily Show.

I’ve recently relocated to the west coast, and when spending time with my family, who loves Fox News, I’ve come to appreciate at least how they’re presenting facts. More to the point, ignoring one side of the convo, no matter how much the figureheads pander to that viewpoint and play fast and loose with facts, doesn’t do anyone any good.

Love this: “Actually, there is the argument to be made that the Times ignores him at everyone’s peril — it is their job, after all, to watch and report on things the rest of us may not have the stomach for or any interest in. ” Couldn’t agree more. They should live and breathe Fox News issues, simply to be debunking them, or enhancing Fox’s legitimate reporting.

Who are the rest of “us” who may not have the stomach for, or interest in Beck? It sure seems a lot of people at Mediaite watch him on pretty regular basis! I would go a step further, whatever you think of his politics and/or worldview, the guy is one of the most entertaining hosts on television!
