The NYT is mired in a quagmire and they are lying to the American people when they say the newspaper can succeed. The NYT needs to face up to reality, admit defeat and withdraw from the newspaper business.

There continue to be rumors that some major big city daily newspapers are going to go out of business, or just be an on-line presence. The newspaper business is in free fall, with so much advertising going to sites like Craig’s List, and with circulation numbers hurt by the internet and cable TV news.

Maybe it’s only a matter of time before some newspaper goes out of business. It’s happened before with changes in the media and communications. 50 years ago, most big cities and many smaller ones had both a morning and evening newspaper. Evening newspapers disappeared years ago. Printed newspapers may be the next to go.

The magazine business has the same fundamental problem.

What’s not to like about this outcome? What’s worth reading in the NYTimes — Isn’t that the problem?

No. Propaganda had its run. The P-age is over.

Liberals like Pinchy don’t care about making a profit. As long as the Times can bash the US and conservatives, and disclose classified information to the terrorists, then he’s done his job.
