I went to the Yahoo Finance section and looked up the NY Slimes to see what Americans, with money and who are willing to invest, think of the New York Slimes.
Then I did a math problem using the height of the stock value two years ago versus today's stock and eureka. I created my own AP Headline. Although, my headline is reality and it targets a leftist organization.
If the liberals at AP, Yahoo News and Google News want to post this, feel free to do so.
Wait, hell hasn't frozen over.
Great! When the price gets low enough maybe we can buy it and fire the whole bunch and start printing the "actual" news!
Stuck in the Quagmire of Nam! The Ethical Bankruptcy of the Stone Age Press is being shown by fewer users. The Commies need to be purged for Freedom.
Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops
Not until it plummets the rest of the 55%.
It's a dark cloud that has no silver lining - just think of all the trees that are alive because of the decline of newspaper readership...
Guess there really is a Recession??

It appears that many a conservative investor/stockholder is getting out while they still can recoup their investments.
Seditious, Treasonous Liberal jerks have it coming, though. I hope in the next two years we'll see the "Old Gray Hag" become totally extinct. THAT would be really cool! A major newspaper with an otherwise rich history bites it!
One can only hope.
If they'd quit making stuff up, more people might read it.
Wow, that sure sounds easy now that I write it down, goes a bit over their heads still.
Actually, that would probably be a huge moneymaker. Buy it cheap, start printing the truth, and watch the stock SOAR!
Doesn't that graph paint a pretty picture. Pinch gotta go!
Well, here is a suggestion for them: they ought to stop using printer's ink altogether, and "print" [more precisely, issue] their paper on good quality sanitary tissue, with appropriate perforations on each page. This way their product would represent an intrinsic [if temporary] value, which would put a floor under the price. Also, this approach will result in dramatic savings on the staff, which savings should go straight to the bottom line.
Snicker-----looks like "Pinch" lacks the punch to get the job done.
Betcha Dads is none too happy with his scion's screwing up the "Paper of (gag) Record."
I'm just waiting for President Bush to announce a bailout plan... :-(

FReeper Dave's got all the goods on the Slimes----and some great graphs.
Course, when the NYT began desperation selling of real estate awhile back, some of us predicted things were going southward subito.
Is the Post going the other way?
