"Times Echoes"

I’ve criticized The New York Times on a number of occasions here.  The lean of the Times is so far to the left that I am somewhat surprised the Times hasn’t simply tipped completely over and openly advocated a new and softer version of socialism, with the Times editorial board acting as the Politboro.

The American Thinker has a piece up titled Times Echoes, which casts an eye on the zealous readers of the NYT, and their tendency to parrot the NYT in all matters.  From the piece.

A distinct subculture, a belief system if not a religion, exists in the United States. Its members draw their instruction on what to believe and how to live from the New York Times. I call them the Times Echoes. They exist in urban social ecosystems all across American.

And these “Times Echoes” do exist all across America, even right here in Western Michigan, unfortunately.

And this.

To Times Echoes, the Times isn’t merely an information source.  It isn’t even just the newspaper of record.  It is an oracle, an inerrant purveyor of wisdom, compared to which the Bible pales.  But the Times Echo is most certainly human.  Although, if Christian theology is correct that it’s intellect and free will that separate man from the animal kingdom, perhaps just barely so.
