How low can you go?
Not done falling yet.
Keep on falling Slimes.
I keep telling them that there is no future in spreading lies every time they ask me to re-subsribe.
I'm sure the editors will claim they can fix this if they printed more Maureen Dowd articles.
How appropriate is that source, huh?
Yahoo! Finance
Yahoo, indeed.
Like to see that trend line go down in flames.
That building is killing them. As well it should. It was a vanity project from the git-go. The Times just didn't need it, but Pinch wanted a pretty building to work in. And now it is going to cost him everything. Richly deserved. Stupidity should be punished severely. At least Pinch will have a pretty building to throw himself from the top of when it's all gone wrong.
Well the NY Times has long wanted to brush aside Bush and return to the glory days of the Clinton Presidency. If they can't, at least their stock value has.
What we need now is a class-action shareholder lawsuit.
Wonder what the best way is to make money on the MSM's steamrolling demise. After all, we should be practicing some blatant capitalism while all those in the old media who hate it are biting the dust.
The truth is that individuals and institutions usually turn to architecture at moments of decline. This curious fact was pointed out years ago by Cyril Northcote Parkinson in his 1968 best seller, Parkinson's Law. This book is full of pithy observations on the foibles of business administration, the best-known of which is: "Work expands to fill the time available for its completion." Less well-remembered is the author's observation on architecture. Parkinson considered buildings as an important barometer of corporate health, but as a negative barometer. "During a period of exciting discovery or progress there is no time to plan the perfect headquarters," he wrote. "The time for that comes later, when all the important work has been done. Perfection, we know, is finality; and finality is death."
Parkinson provided several historical examples. St. Peter's in Rome was built by popes who were enmeshed in worldly affairs and had lost much of their moral authority; Louis XIV built his palace at Versailles several decades after his great military triumphs and at a time when his power was in decline; exactly one year after the Viceroy of India moved into his new imperial capital of New Delhi, the Indian Congress demanded independence. One can add more. When CBS built "Black Rock," its imposing black granite headquarters in Manhattan, Edward R. Murrow was gone and infotainment was just around the corner. Pan American Airways built its huge headquarters on Park Avenue long after it pioneered transoceanic air travel, but not so long before it ceased operations.

Don't worry.
FR members post so many newslinks to NYT website and send so many FReepers to their site that we'll make up any shortfall they may have in advertising revenues :)
Ping!
Why would anyone what to read the anti-american propaganda in the NYT? Maybe if they stopped being so anti-american they could turn things around.
Snark!
This may mean cutting another few inches off the width of the paper.
How low can it go? I wonder if it would be a good time to start shorting their stock. Profiting from their misfortune would bring me great pleasure.
Short sell the NYTimes.
If I enjoyed it, they were willing to automatically toss six weeks more for a price
I laughed! Said I would not read the liberal rantings of the NYT even for free, much less pay for it.
To the callers benefit he said a polite Thank you and hung up quietly. Guess he was not getting paid enough to argue the point.
