2007 might be looked on as the last kinda good year for these losers.
They are in free fall or approaching it.
May they continue their Dixie Chick marketing strategy until they close their doors with a final edition.
Too late for fishwrap it seems. They may retain little, if any, control over their own fate. For instance, yet another angry left wing nutter wrote an opus to declare his formerly beloved Old Gray Lady an Old Gray Nag before summarily divorcing her for her sin of cheating on him with William Kristol. Amid flotsam of leftist boilerplate bobbles an unverified list of NYT advertisers. (Presumably to inspire fellow travelers to boycott. Ironic that a NYT boycott now serves the agenda of both conservatives and socialists.)
New York Times 10 biggest advertisers (non-Movie)
1. Verizon
2. Macy’s
3. Bloomingdale’s
4. Sprint
5. T-Mobile
6. American Express
7. Liberty Travel
8. Kohl’s
9. Dell Computers
10. Chase Bank
Left wing nutter's non-movie disclaimer leads me to believe that movie advertisements account for a big chunk of NYT revenue. He also offers up unverified circ numbers.
Avg Year Daily Circ 1998 1,110,143 2001 1,151,047 2004 1,133,763 2007 1,120,420
Ain't it beautiful.
