WHY IS THE NEW YORK TIMES BOTHERING WITH A RODEO CLOWN?

(h/t  Mediaite)

We KNOW that Glenn Beck is full of rightwing agit-prop so I'm amazed that the NY Times would bother to interview him for it's Sunday Magazine.  Here's just one excerpt that demonstrates Beck is a liar:
You’ve said The Blaze could put traditional TV news out of business. That’s a bold prediction.
I learned that when Barbara Walters came and did an interview with me. They had about 50 people in our studio for two days — more people in my offices than we had employees. All for an eight-minute segment.
But do you really think that will happen?
The nightly news is doing a fine job of putting itself out of business. Who watches it? I mean really, besides my grandparents, who are both dead, who is watching the nightly news? I think we’ll be ready to put them out of business in the next three to five years.
TV Newser has the ratings for the 3 major evening news shows:
