New York Times Publisher Arthur Sulzberger tells Haaretz.com that he's not sure if the Old Gray Lady will even be producing a print edition five years from now. This is being dictated, apparently, by the digital revolution, which they ostensibly blame for their industry's overall decline.

The once 'paper of record' could have survived had it not become the treasonous rag it is today.

There will be virtually no printed newspapers in 5 to 10 years.
And add to that, TV programs will all be "On Demand" which will all but wipe out the MSM's evening news programs. All news media will be sinking every last dollar into the internet.

The only reason to buy a hard copy is for the coupons printed in them!
Who would pay for a digital copy of a biased "newspaper"?
It is hard to wrap fish with a digital copy!

Just think, when I'm 70 or 80 years old and my grandkids are buying giant sheets of blank paper to wrap glasses and stuff in as they box them to move I'll be able to tell them I used to be able to get all that stuff for 25 cents AND it had news on it.
