"This is almost like watching a slow starvation. New York Times' (NYSE: NYT) advertising revenue, already on a steady slide for years, fell another 3.2% in August."

It's time to grab a bowl of popcorn and watch the show as the Gray Lady starves herself...

Good. I wish them total failure.

People who have stopped subscribing to the NYT and many of the other local papers have found that the are saving money and they don’t have to clean the expectorated coffee off the breakfast table and floor.

This is no great shock. The Sulzbergers plan to drive NYT stock into the toilet, then buy all the common shares at rock bottom prices, until they have enough of it to privatize “their” paper. Literally they will buy back all the remaining common stock at fractions of a penny per share.

And a federal judge has ruled they can do it. Their special stock gives them complete rights over corporate policy, and common stockholders have no rights to force them to make decisions that would maintain or increase stock value.

In other words, anyone still holding NYT stock should have sold it long ago. It is worthless, unless you can find some fool to buy it.

The Motley Fool. Fantastic web site. Lots of investing info and message boards covering every topic you can think of.

Highly recommended. I've been hanging out there since 1998.

When Hilldabeast speaks about Americans want change and she and her ilk are the change, all the liberal rags across the country are going down the toilet faster than we can flush, no one listened to liberal progressive radio when it existed and had to be supported by outside entitties, and they cried for a fairness doctrine because they could not hold an audience. Are they all living in bizzaro world? It only shows they are listening to themselves talk and not listening to what the American people want!

I will dance the Dance of Joy the last day the ‘Slimes is published; that day cannot come too soon for me. In a just country. Pinch would be hanged for treason...and I’d gladly hold the rope on which he swung.

I wish the NY Times would just hurry up and die.
That thing has done enough damage to America, thank you.

I think poster #12 hit the nail squarely on the head.
