Ping!

[ClaudiusI]

How about cutting all the sections that are actually opinion and not news?
Then, after we read it, we could make a paper airplane out of it.

[FlingWingFlyer]

If they would put out a newspaper that EVERYONE would want to read instead of publishing just another DNC newsletter, maybe advertisers would start shooting a little business their way.

[I still care]

It’s really scandalous, what they have done to the Times.

If it was true, like they claim, that it is “internet competition”, then papers like the Post would not be growing while the Times shrinks.

The NYTimes used to be the paper of record. Now people laugh at it. They had THREE, count them, three, rumorfed stories about Palin on their front page, but Edwards they refused to cover because it wasn’t “verified” (with reporters chasing him into the bathroom).

They had magazine sections, classified, real estate, etc- so much to offer. But they created such illwill nobody wants to buy them except committed liberals, elitists, and America haters.

Screwing with the sport page is going to destroy whatever “local” readers they have.

Now, HOW MANY government-paid NY Times subscriptions are there?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Good question. I know our small town library out here in Arizona has a subscription. I may have to speak to some of the city council boys about that. They all are pretty conservative. I hate to see money being wasted just to help prop up a failing “newspaper.”

[TigerLikesRooster]

Hmm.. Soros might take over the newspaper.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I wouldn’t be surprised. The leftist moonbat bloggers don’t seem to be getting the job done. They’ve been messing up by the numbers and causing the DemocRATS a lot of misery with their phony “scandals.”

Ha-Ha!

[TigerLikesRooster]

I have not looked into NYT blogs. So they need some quality control on blog section?

[Gator113]

I love watching this death.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Or are you saying that liberal bloggers are not able to fill the void ailing NYT has left?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I was more or less talking about Kos, the Huffington Puff and the DUmmies. It appears that they were put in charge of the “scandal” creation unit.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Soon they will air some elaborately forged documents or video with incriminating content on Palin. :-)

[4rcane]

the 3 frontpage stories about Palin attacks Mccain and call into question Mccain’s vetting process. The irony, a few days later, NYT have to withdraw one of the rumors that Palin used to be in a seperatist party. Wheres the vettign process in NYT?

[border bud]

THAT explains the 6% unemployment rate!

[FlingWingFlyer]

I agree. I see that coming. Governor Palin has to be destroyed. The Democrats, like the Nazis or the old Soviet Union, believe that this country belongs to them whether the American people like it or not.

[TigerLikesRooster]

All liberals laid off by MSM and Wall St. must have made a dent on employment statistic.

And Islamic terrorists.
