'... People like me who're writing online cheer at the demise of traditional media outlets like NYTimes. But people like me just want traditional media outlets like NYTimes to do their jobs, to do what they're supposed to do.
The NYTimes helped cheer lead our way into the war in Iraq with Judith Miller. And I think a lot of the decline in these traditional media outlets is because people have lost faith that those publications don't have ulterior motives or agendas.
People like me, I have an agenda, and I'm very clear about it.'
