Personally, we prefer when journalists simply report the facts and stay away from explaining how things “seem.” But in its piece about how Fox News “seems” to be poised for a new heights under the Obama administration, the Times just can't help itself [emphasis added]:
But the network is showing no concern about the new administration; if anything, it seems re-energized. With a series of program changes this month, Fox News is doubling down on the programming strategy that has made it the No. 1 cable news network for seven years. Some of the network's prominent conservative hosts seem invigorated about being back on offense.
Also note that reporting on the arrival of Glenn Beck to Fox News from CNN Headlines News, the Times politely declines to mention that Beck spent his time at CNNHL in the ratings cellar. Then again, the Times has always played nice with the ratings-challenged Beck.
