The NY Times In Its Death Throes

With the advent of America selecting a liberal to be POTUS it remains unclear whether we are demonstrating a more liberal preference, or lean more to the conservative side. If the future of the liberal New York Times is any indication one would conclude that America is more conservative.

The New York Times stock again plunged, this time by 9.92%. This drop gives the shares a value of 5 dollars and 72 cents per share. Five years ago it was valued at close to 50 bucks per share.

Over the past 5 years the Times has cut jobs in an effort to remain profitable. They also reduced the size of the paper. Neither had any positive effect on their stock price.

The 5 year fall is most notable over the past 3 month period as it had a high of just over $15.00 a share last September.

Perhaps it is following the market fall, or maybe it is due to people no longer subscribing to the print media. The only thing that is certain is the New York Times is in dire straites.

Note: These charts will vary over time.

MSM Keeps Its Lips On The Prize

Honestly, how Barack Obama manages to walk with every member of the MSM kissing his butt at once amazes me.

In a rational world, Barack Obama’s “Look at me, I’m a socialist!” interview would be the story of the day. All the right-wing blogs are talking about it, my inbox has been flooded with emails about it all day. When I saw that Drudge had a big headline about it I decided to see if maybe, just maybe, the story was working its way into the MSM.

I really should begin drug testing myself after such thoughts. My first two stops told me everything I needed to know. I hit the CNN site and the New York Times site. Both are still two of the biggest names in MSM Bizarro World so I always check them first to see what’s on the minds of those who prefer not to use their minds.

Any mention that the guy who may very well be the next POTUS offered proof in his own words that he’s a raging socialist? Nah, that would be too, you know, responsible.

Instead, both sites featured stories bitching about Sarah Palin.

Focused little lefty advocates, aren’t they?

Obama waxes on an on about redistribution and it may as well have happened on the far side of the distant planet Moonbat Prime.

“Sarah Palin went off script? WHAT?!?!? The American people need to know this-make it the feature story now!”

These morons are protected by the very First Amendment that their irresponsibility is helping to destroy.

I’m running out of expletives to scream at the computer these days, I might have to start making some new ones up. We’ll all probably have to speak in code soon anyway.
