The 'New York Times' Empire of Fantasy

Leftism, like a zombie virus, eats the brains of respected
institutions and renders them empty, animated monsters who feast on the
flesh of the republic. Thus the New York Times, a genuinely great institution forty years ago,
the paper of record that ran all the news that was fit to print, is now
a shambling, drooling phantom of its former self, a record of little
more than Democrat talking points, running all the news that fits with
its point of view.
I once called the Democrat-Media complex an Empire of Lies, but the Times has gone way beyond that now. In a leading editorial last week, the Times showed itself to be the google-eyed emperor of an Empire of Fantasy, the Willy Wonka of a candy cane world that exists only within the confines of its pages.
The editorial was about Secretary of State John Kerry and was called — and so help me, I am not making this up — "America's Mr. Diplomacy." It began — really, hit the link and read it yourself, I'm not making this up! — thusly:

Since becoming secretary of state more than three years ago, John Kerry has been a man on a mission — multiple missions, in fact — relentlessly traveling the globe in search of diplomatic solutions to the world’s toughest problems.
His efforts have been daring and, at times, quixotic. He was no more successful than his predecessors in securing a lasting Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement. But without his persistence, the Iran nuclear deal in 2015 and last December’s global climate change agreement in Paris would almost certainly have been unattainable.
The cease-fire in Syria he negotiated last week with Russia could lead to yet another triumph — an end to the violence that has killed more than 400,000 Syrians and left many more without adequate food, water and medical supplies.
I
do not know — I cannot imagine — how a person who lives by writing
words could put such codswallop before the public and continue to look
at himself in the mirror.
