If you can source the "fact" that the Slimes is shutting down their home delivery system please post it here and ping me.

This is news of EPIC proportions if true.

The bird-cage-liner's readership will dwindle down to next to nothing. Can you picture New Yawkers of all ages running to a newstand in the dead of winter every nasty, frigid morning just to buy this rag?

Since advertising income is dependent on numbers of readers, this is a sign that the Slimes is in the most dire of dire straits. It sounds terminal to me. I predict if the editorial clymers come out with an Obummer endorsement it will be the seal of doom, the nail in the coffers. We can only hope and pray.

This is almost too good to be true. If ANYONE can verify that there's be no more home delivery, PUHLEEEEEZE post a source and ping me!

The NYT isn’t shutting down home delivery - they’re outsourcing the delivery of the paper to retailers.

Here’s the article:
