Bill Keller, The New York Times‘ executive editor, and Jason Jones in The Daily Show‘s “End Times”
Keller: It’s always been one of the higher asperations in the business to work for The New York Times. Nowadays, we’re a little bit like the last ship afloat. So we have all these lifeboats floating around underneath us and people dying to clamber on board.
