New York Times executive editor Bill Keller, of the arrogant-all-the-way-to-death's-door newspaper industry, takes a shot at the new media that is keeping his business almost still relevant:
Keller said he had little use for Web sites like Google and Drudge Report: "If you're inclined to trust Google as your source for news -- Google yourself."
The Times uses Drudge on an almost-daily basis to leak their top stories for the following day. He ought to be bowing down and thanking him profusely for driving readership up. As for Google, maybe they ought to put a block on all Times stories in their news aggregator mechanism.
Clueless...

It's quite hard to find a liberal who is not a hypocrite at the same time!

I wish our new ruling class would just issue a paper stating which industries/businesses are evil and which aren't. It's so confusing now to the common man. I mean, I assumed the NYT as a mouthpiece for the White House was on the good list, but I figured Google was as well, being that its "windfall profits" haven't been attacked or confiscated just yet. Hep me O(b/s)ama, HEP ME!

Mr Chesser,
If you want the job as token "conservative" at the Grey Old Hag, you're going to have to be a wee bit more polite. Too, you may need to adopt Liberal premises and be willing to compromise basic Conservative-Libertarian values. Don't forget to be critical of Republicans and Conservatives.
But tone, man! Calling Keller an arrogant clueless hypocrite... Well, at least you didn't accuse him of being conservative.
Gotta wonder... Does Keller have a damned clue what "business" is or what it means to his success?

Where does the NYT stand on the issue of Unions, since they're currently demanding 20 million in concessions from Unions or they'll shut down the Boston Globe? I always Thought I knew where they stood, until their rear was in the slinger.
