While speaking at a conference in London, chairman and publisher of The New York Times Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. made a major statement about the future of his publication: "We will stop printing The New York Times sometime in the future, date TBD."

Even Pinch is putting his people on notice. The reality is that 1 out of every 2 liberal staffers currently working in the NY Times newsroom will be out of a job in the very near future.

How about tomorrow ?

HaHa!

You can only fool the “rubes” with your lies for only so long.

I see their non-print editions swirling down the drain also.

[Drango]

JUST DO IT!

[Red Badger]

Gotta save those trees, you know..............

[cblue55]

Well wouldn’t that just be the bees knees!

[Izzy Dunne]

How about tomorrow ?

Naw, gimme time to stock up firestarter for the winter heating season...

[Huskrrrr]

Journalists should have no difficulty finding shovel ready jobs.

YEEEE-HAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!!

[Frantzie]

You mean all the fawning pro-Islamic puff pieces cannot save them?

Maybe the Saudis ccan send Carlos Slim $500 million to keep the S.S. NY Times afloat a bit longer.

Newsroom staff reduction. For all intents and purposes the NYT only has editorial and columnists now.

I’ll be toasting this news in an hour and 44 minutes.

Just when I was thinking about starting to get it. Despite its liberal point of view and you’re having to weed through it, it still has pretty good in-depth info on some things.

[Huskrrrr]

Stop the Presses!!! Literally.

[gthog61]

It would be a lot better off if pinch was in the half that is leaving. I doubt that happens.

[Huskrrrr]

Beautiful!!!

[a fool in paradise]

NEW YORK TIMES? STICK A FORK IN IT...

...it's done!

I wonder if an omsbudsman will declare a fatwa on me now.

[Rapscallion]

My theory is that NYT was once the standard of reporting excellence and objectivity.

While they were not above mixing some opinion with fact, the opinion was usually mainstream.

Once they "went liberal" that began the descent into taking sides, trying to hurt the opposition and then, partisan assinations. As the opinion became more and more left of center, the subscriptions declined steadily.

Bottom line, they did themselves in with liberalism, but they really did it to themselves. The public just stopped trusting the NYT.

This is why the left is fighting to control the interweb.
