Who paid for the printing of 1.2 million 14 page faux copies of the NYT??? That is a considerable expense. Even at 10¢ each that is $120,000 and I doubt you could produce a 14 page broadsheet at 10¢. I would expect a production cost of close to a dollar or two per unit.
Who pays millions for a joke?
MoveOn.Org? Soros? International ANSWER? Code Pink?
Exactly, my first question, who paid for this? And what is to gain that makes it worth this cost? Bail out money?
Well for some trust fund baby or Soros-type it's a lot more than a joke, it's their feeble gasp at describing their utopia, so I have no trouble imagining some lefty dipstick who thinks that the publicity this receives will be worth it:
"After eight, or maybe twenty-eight years of hell, we need to start imagining heaven."
