She held up a copy of the Epoch Times and said, "THIS is the paper that you should tear up, not the New York Times." She was an actress, and I had cast her in a scene in which she was supposed to tear up the a copy of the New York Times in a protest against the Leftist domination of the mass media. Clearly, she was a liberal, and didn't like the idea of tearing up one of the most venomous liberal rags in existence. But I insisted. She did the scene as planned, but reluctantly, her tearing gestures not at all as ferocious as I'd directed. I couldn't understand how anyone could prefer a corporate tyrant like the NYT over an independent entity like The Epoch Times, whose writers wrote with the journalistic integrity that should govern all print media. But then I realized that the NYT was sort of like her Bible, and reflected all the condescending vitriol that she had stored within her like the fat that fell off her body.
