The New York Times is nothing more than a liberal propaganda

“only 4%.”

Cheer up. That’s only an estimate. Oh, and if you happen to be perturbed that NYT’s digital income is expected to grow 10%, just remember, 10% of next to nothing is, uh, much less than next to nothing. For every 1% of print advertising revenue lost, digital revenue probably needs to increase by 10,000% to make up the loss.

NYT sales are down, but that’s okay, because they’re really really smart.

Wonder if they’ll get a bailout?

Agreed. Until the Al Qaeda Times ceases publishing, I won't accept the premise that it is "dying."

Once they put up their paywall, those big increases in online advertising will stop and go into reverse.
