Under my brilliant management, we're shedding readers and dropping ad revenues ... in the middle of a national election ... at a time when news junkies are gobbling up tons of information and candidates are spending gazillions of dollars ... and let me assure you always critical Freepers ... that ain't easy to do!

Good to hear that the New York Times is following Newsweek’s fine example to going bankrupt....

The New York Times Co reported worse-than-expected results on Thursday...

Can't always believe what the NY Times reports.

I'm stunned that anyone would believe the NYT forecasting any revenue.

The sooner the terminal national abscess called the NYTimes completely dies the sooner America will recover.

Lets see- maybe people want actual NEWS from a supposed news source

These bozos said that Obama won all three debates... Would you PAY for that kind of quality work?

The owners of the NYT do not need the paper to be profitable in order to make buckets of money out of owning it. The power to manipulate stock prices with news makes it worth the investment.

Get it out of your head that just because the paper is losing money that it will go away.

Hence my theory that the MSM was 110% in the tank for Obama because in the near future they are going to be looking for a bailout.

Not looking too promising for them at the moment.

Looks like Al Reuters rushed this story out only half-way down the slide. NYT closed today at $8.31 (loss of 21.97% for the day).

ROFLMAO

NYT’s stock dropped about 22% from the previous day's close.

In dollar terms, the value of the company dropped around $350 million.

From $1.58 billion to around $1.2 billion.

They nearly hit their revenue estimate and completely blew their earnings estimate.

They must be giving all the money to Obama.
