Yep, the American taxpayer. It's the next bailout.
I wonder why the NYT doesn’t put the globe into bankruptcy,hold of the creditors, void all the union contracts and start again? If they can’t renegotiate favorable contracts with the union, simply shut the rag down and sell off the assets.

The NYT is a commie liberal dinosaur. It has outlived its usefulness. The American people will never forgive the NYT, the Boston Globe and all the other libtard news rags for lying to them about Obummer.
