Knowing absolutely nothing about David Carr, I would lean towards him being heart attacked. On a limited hangout, (((they))) want to use someone they trust which would explain snowden and npr using Carr for the panel and the story where npr explains how they fake the news.

>Many in Congress, including Mr. DeMint, have argued that NPR's serving of news comes with a heaping side dish of squishy liberal ideology. And that's true to a point. In terms of assignments and sensibility, NPR has always been more blue than red, but it's not as if it has an overt political agenda. Working in public broadcasting probably disposes you to certain kinds of government assistance - to public broadcasting, for example.
>[Ron] Schiller, in his secretly taped remarks, seemed to agree, and provided plenty of ammunition for NPR's critics, even suggesting it might be better off in the long run without public money. And not only did Mr. Schiller call members of the Tea Party racists, but he followed up with a ponderous lecture on a varietal of wine - which is not a winning topic when lunching with devout Muslims, even fake ones - and thus reinforced every extant stereotype of NPR as a collective of wine-sipping, conservative-hating boobs drunk on their own specialness.
