They have no one to blame but themselves.

"It is sad to watch a once-great company decline."

On the contrary, it's a beautiful thing to see.

It is sad to watch a once-great company decline.

Once great --And just when was that They have been left wing since I got interested in politics back in 68

I guess liberals just don't read newspapers as much as they used to.

[Neoliberalnot]

Their demise is in the best interest of the country. The NYTimes is a arrogant, clear, and treasonous danger to every citizen in the U.S. Good riddance to the seat of yellow journalism. The Times makes the Philly Enquirer look like stellar journalism.

Dinosaur media death watch ping.

"Overall profitability of the company last year amounted to roughly a 7.7% return on gross sales... the television station group earns almost three times as much per sales dollar, at 22%..."

22% !!!

Those are obscene profits! It's unAmerican! The Times is bilking their employees and their customers! The elderly will be living on the stteets and eating dog food! I demand a Congressional inquiry! NOW !!!

When a company needs to sell-off profitable crown jewels to sustain the lagging less profitable pieces

Sound like The Cherry Orchard, by Chekhov.

http://www.allreaders.com/Topics/info_22358.asp?BSID=55435658

Mrs. Ranevsky, a once-wealthy landowner, returns from a trip to Europe and is faced with the dilemma of selling her beloved cherry orchard or going into extreme debt. She refusus to accept change, and continually squanders what little money she has left. Lopakhin, a businessman, offers her advice by suggesting that she cut down the orchard and build cottages to rent out. Mrs. Ranevsky refuses, and eventually has to put the orchard up for auction in order to save the family. Lopakhin buys the orchard himself and begins his cottage enterprise.

You're quite welcome!

Well said!

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Thanks! NYT Stocks dropping like a rock! A sight to behold!

[Obadiah]

When the bloodline-based boss is both obsessed with a private agenda and easily led into foolish moves...

[Eric in the Ozarks]

They have no shame.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

An opportunity for balanced journalism to fill in the gap. The opportunity is there for a right-minded sensible person to create a good online news site. Not one that just links to news items on mainstream media sites.

[sachem longrifle]

Well, when you expose military secrets and undermine America during wartime, i guess that does not sell.

[The Brush]

And me, out of tissues!
Guess I picked the wrong week to start crying
