The NYT's is probably a lot like a night club that is barely bringing in customers. To improve the number of patrons, the nightclub owner decides to charge a cover.
The owner did not use the money to hire a hot DJ, or a band...
It's like getting a tax increase. We just get the same failed liberalism at a higher cost.
Hmm... you may be onto something there. nytimes could have a cover charge for men only, ladies read for free. : )
