Downgrade of NY Times to "junk" status...mentioned on "Fast Money"
on CNBC today (10-23-08)...can't wait to see
"if it bleeds, it leads"
applies to a media outlet getting it's b-tch-slap for being
a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, The European Union
and being Putin's Poodle.

The junk rating matches the output of the newspaper. Well deserved IMHO.

As promised in lead post:
additional info on the “junk” status of The New York Times.

Moody’s May Cut New York Times to Junk, Stock Dives
http://blog.wired.com/business/2008/10/moodys-may-cut.html


Things are looking grim at the Times today. The newspaper announced low
Q3 earnings and the possibility that the newspaper may default on
its debt today, and Moody’s says that they may downgrade
The New York Times’ stock to junk status.

You know the word...Schadenfreude!

'Junk' is such an appropriate rating. It symbolizes both the stock price and the content of the product.

Hannity's right...journalism finally gave up the ghost this year. Can't wait for the NYT and other liberal hackfests to flatline.

The NYT has been junk for many decades. It is nice to see that it’s credit rating has caught up with it’s credibility rating.
