Hey -- destroying stockholder value, obliterating the paper's vaunted history, wiping out the advertising base, alienating subscribers and killing any semblance of credibility is a small price to pay to keep Pinch's '60s fantasies alive!

Looks like the NY Times and the Washington Post aren't going to figure out that you can't take a President down these days with lies and inuendo. And selling out troops on the ground won't win them friends either. In fact, sounding as if you're the U.S. propaganda arm of Al Qaeda just hasn't paid off has it.

You have to love the way their trash articles are backfiring, and they still haven't figured it out.

Adios NY Times. Don't let the barn door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. And while you're at it, do you mind taking the trash (the Washington Post) out with you?

I hope it goes down to zero. Fact is NYT is reaching the point where it is worth more dead than alive. The real estate is worth more than the company now.

It would be nice if price trending of home heating oil would drop the same way.

The Washington Post - 2 Year trend

The stock value is more expensive than the NY Slimes, but the Post has much few shares traded.

I'll bet if things get really bad at the NYT, the DNC, Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden and George Soros will bail them out.

The headline I'm waiting for: NYT CLOSES DOORS, STAFF LIVING ON THE STREETS & IN HOMELESS SHELTERS.

[cynicom]

Cant wait for the day they file bankruptcy.

I'm shocked ... shocked, I tell you < /sarcasm mode off>

Looks good to me.......and maybe, as a bonus, Punch will disown Pinch. LOL.

The NYT pays big bucks for Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd to insult the opposition while they slant the news coverage to the left. Their latest effort past Thursday on alleged telephone tapping improprieties is a good example. It may sell in a narrow, liberal audience but not in a wider, conservative country.

If the NYT was as informed as they pretend to be they would know that conservatives actually read newspapers. They have dissed over half their potential readership and then wonder why their income statement reflects a deteriorating financial condition.

After all, why support the oppositon. The NYT may believe they are influential but this is occuring on a narrower and narrower base while they have less and less assets to deploy.
