I really want to punch my roommate right now in the face. I just found out David Carr died, when I roommate asked who I mentioned he was a big-time reporter for the New York Times, and he said "I don't read that. It's liberal." He's a fucking pseudo-intellectual, and a part of the problem with this country. I'd really like to take him down to size, but I'm not a passionate-style debater so I have trouble doing so. I usually win out though.
Also, is anyone noticing that this is the week from hell for American Journalists? Monday Brian Williams is discovered to be a liar, Tuesday he's suspended without pay and Jon Stewart announces he is leaving The Daily Show, Wednesday highly-respected 60 minutes news correspondent Bob Simon is killed in a terrible car crash, and now highly-respected New York Times media critic David Carr dies from a likely heart attack just minutes after holding a panel on CitizenFour. This is becoming as bad as that week in '09 when Michael Jackson and all those other celebrities died. Seriously, what the hell...
