Well, Ted, if they bail it out, I hope they at least change the name to something more accurate, like “Progressive Propaganda,” or “Loony Leftist Laughs for the Day.”

How long until the Democrats vote a bailout for the New York Times?

We used to be able to trust the papers to print the news and let us decide how we stood on the issues, however, that is in the past as more and more of the so called jounralists wanted to try and tell us how to vote, what to believe and to trust only them. When they do not tell all the story and slant it to fit what they think then we are only given half the truth. Readers have responded by cancelling out.

I think you may have hit the nail on the head Laurent.
What we might be seeing is the demise of the big newspaper- using trees up newspaper industry. The internet now is out sourcing more media news than the papers can produce in a day and at a much faster rate. who knows. Maybe this could be the solution we’re looking for to save the plant with: End the newspaper industry as pulp and paper. Saves the trees. More greenery. Healthier planet. I could live with that. lol……

yeah the NY times led us to war in iraq. those crazy liberals. the ny times never questions the american war machine, corporate interests, nafta, the wto, etc etc etc. i’d love to see a liberal paper. i would read it. the ny times is not one. the mainstream media is conservative. why wouldnt they give nader or mckinney any coverage. obama is conservative. look at his center right cabinet. you monkeys are just so hard right that you live in some fantasyland apart from the rest of us.

The NY Times’ last big moneymaker is real estate classified ads. The funny thing is that hardly any buyers use them to find properties to buy. Sellers insist on them as a vanity, to be able to see something in print about their property. Buyers use the internet. When sellers finally wake up to this, the NY Times will be left with just the department store ads. As more people rely on full color and interactive internet ads, these will fade away also. Then who will support the bloated unionized staff and the Sulzberger-Ochs family?

This news has made my day Jenn. Perhaps some wealthy conservative will be tempted to buy NYT out and rebuild it.

If only I hadn’t squandered all my income on wild women and song….LOL. Yeah right…in my dreams….

This is great news… I used to admire Journalists, but rags like the New York Times & Newsweek destroyed all that respect.

I routinely encourage people to NOT buy the NY Times… Buy a local paper instead.

Goodbye, Times!

I’d like to think that the many letters and e-mails that we have sent to the stations and their sponsors, as well as those of us who have cancelled all subscriptions to msm papers and magazines has helped them along. It feels good everytime I can write an e-mail reminding them that it might have been different had they done their job.

Maybe they’ll go ask for a bailout.

Much of the MSM is having financial problems, but they have only themselves to blame. Well, ad the internet to their woes.

Dear Danno:

First, Time Magazine posts a 35.6% quarterly loss and now this. YOU have made my day.
