David Carr, New York Times Columnist, Dies at 58

It's pretty bizarre, but he died just hours after appearing with Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras in a panel discussion, including Edward Snowden by live feed, on the documentary "Citizenfour."

I liked Carr's columns, and routinely blogged his stuff. Some of my commenters objected --- mainly because they object to anything from the far-left Old Gray Lady. But I'm like Althouse when it comes to leftist media bias: you go to political war with the mainstream journalism that you have.

In any case, at the New York Times, "David Carr, Times Critic and Champion of Media, Dies at 58," and "David Carr, a Journalist at the Center of the Sweet Spot."
