Dec 25, 2013: Townhall: '60 Minutes': Tool of the State?
The New York Times published an unintentionally humorous headline on Dec. 23: "When '60 Minutes' Checks Its Journalistic Skepticism at the Door." The Times media columnist David Carr is suddenly stunned that "60 Minutes" has aired a puff piece on a serious political matter. "Oh, the Obama Administration — "the most transparent administration in history" is how they came in — turns out to be one that’s been extremely aggressive in going after public employees motivated by nothing more than shedding light on what they felt were bad decisions. The administration had been prosecuting them in a criminal manner. I think it’s incredibly incongruous for an administration supposedly built on transparency and accountability to let the Justice Department run hog-wild and prosecute whistleblowers like they’re spies. Like they’re working for some foreign agency because they called The Baltimore Sun or whatever." --David Carr (The Verge 03.03.12)Apr 3, 2012: The Verge: The Verge interview: David Carr on curation, crowdsourcing, and the future of journalism
