[NYer]

I’m stupefied.

[freedumb2003]

That is a great move, but too little too late for the hidebound liberal dinosaur.

The Old Gray Whore is on her way out (thank God!)

[PGR88]

"wouldn't dream of broadcasting something comparably satirical if it had been the Prophet Mohammed rather than Jesus."

So Jesus is fair game, but Mohammed is off limits?

He WAS with the BBC, after all.

[SeaHawkFan]

Times Company's chairman, Arthur Sulzberger Jr., told analysts last month that Mr. Thompson "possesses high ethical standards...

If true, there is going to be a lot of culture shock at the NYT.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

I’m stupefied.

I'm gobsmacked.

Is this the Onion?

[Carriage Hill]

"...Thompson turned the British Broadcasting Company into a global online homo/pedophile/sex abuse operation..."

I’ll be looking for the pictures of aborted children coming out, and looking, and looking...

save.

[Trod Upon]

Nah, they’re just going to push for “Christian” socialism, mis-applying the tale of Jesus and the rich young man, etc.

[skeeter]

I’m reminded of the words of SanFranNan - “My favorite word is... The Word”.

[jessduntno]

Justice Souter was described as a conservative pre-nomination.
I guess you can say pretty much anything.
Proof is in the pudding, eh?

[newfreep]

I doubt if SanFranNan knows “The Word” is Christ.

[skeeter]

I doubt it as well.

I also doubt Christianity will begin getting anything like a fair hearing in the NYT.

So Jesus is fair game, but Mohammed is off limits? He WAS with the BBC, after all.

IIRC, sometime in the last decade the BBC hired a Muslim to oversee their religious broadcsting. I wonder if this guy was responsible for that?

[KStorm]

Perhaps there’ll be a written disavowal of the Times’ implied support of the Communist regime in the USSR throughout the 20th century. You know...that benevolent regime that did nasty things to those considered non-compliant...

[Venturer]

He is no more Catholic than Obama is Christian.

CINO

[faithhopecharity]

Could it really be that a good Christian is allowed to run the (mostly pretty atheistic) NYT? Maybe he can repair, heal what ails the newspaper? (If not, its demise will not be missed much, given its editorial bias being so extreme...)

[Dick Bachert]

How in hell (and that’s what the NYT is) did this guy wind up there? Is he being punished for some cardinal sin?

[RedStateRocker]

I’d hire a Muslim, atheist or Mormon if they were the best person for the job.
