[Commentary] Jeb Bush isn't a New York Times reader. The former Florida governor and likely Republican presidential candidate appeared on Fox News Radio and, when asked to respond to a quote in the paper, said he doesn't read it. "I don't read The New York Times, to be honest with you," Bush told Fox's Brian Kilmeade.

The quote in question came from Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, who was quoted in the Times saying that the Christian right should begin discussing which candidate to back as an alternative to Bush, because he didn't represent their views. "When you become the frontrunner and you're a well-known name and you've had the type of fundraising success that you've had, even though you haven't declared yet, you're going to be a target of The New York Times, which many on the right think is a badge of honor," Kilmeade told Bush.
