Two things that bugged me about this article.
First - they describe him as "quirky"
Second - they make it seem that his support is ONLY on the internet (as usual). I can't WAIT for the Philly rally to make these assholes eat their words!

I think that's actually a very favorable and even-handed article.

Anything in the MSM that treats Dr. Paul as a legitimate candidate is very important. The NYT has traditionally been the most important single source of MSM power. It gets a lot of eyeballs, and a lot of attention.

Think of the Patreus ad by Moveon.org. LOT of attention there.
Think of where the Firefox browser campaign decided to place an ad.

This story is a harbinger of the wild two weeks we have ahead of us.

Mostly fair, but not completely fair. Wait until the Philly Rally gets their attention. You ain't seen nothing yet.

I noticed that the NYT seems to be the standard bearer for the Old Media. Outisde the NYT being an old established paper, I don't quite understand why that is. USA Today and the Wall Street Journal have more subscriptions than the NYT.

Quirky might be a negative to you but it's not all bad.

I think this was pretty positive and fair!

And while some people might see the last line as slightly negative It made me laugh out loud "They're out of control" hahahaha

It's “They’re totally out of our control,”
