The executive editor at the NYTimes says the paper will “survive the deluge”:

Times executive editor Bill Keller also said at Stanford:
* Readers have offered to donate money to keep the Times alive. (“Saving the New York Times now ranks with saving Darfur as a high-minded cause.”)

Having seen the onslaught of charity the regional left poured forth for Kathleen Soliah ten years ago, I don’t doubt it one bit.  I also don’t doubt that any Darfuri refugee would do a better job of keeping the Administration honest than the Times will.

* “If you’re inclined to trust Google as your source for news — Google yourself.”

On the one hand, Google has been fairly accused of bowdlerizing conservative thought every bit as flagrantly as the NYTimes.

On the other hand, I have little doubt that if Google was circling the drain, we wouldn’t be subjected to the cultural sturm und drang the newspapers are trying to inflict on us.
