Topic: New York Channel

The hosts conclude by discussing the "coziness" between New York Times editors and the intelligence community, where back-channels are used to shape or kill stories. They reiterate that the No Agenda Show exists to fill the gap left by this institutional failure. The episode ends with a sign-off as Adam Curry prepares for a trip to Italy, promising a "Dvorak Doubleheader" for the Sunday special.

Outgoing BBC Director-General Mark Thompson is moving to the New York Times, which the hosts find suspicious given his alleged ties to British intelligence. They also discuss Reuters claiming they were "hacked" to cover up editorial mistakes and mention the sale of legendary New York station WOR to Clear Channel.
