So?

They don’t need profits. Profits are evil.

They have a future in bird cage liners and toilet paper.

Perhaps they should try advancing God, country, patriotism instead of pushing godless Marxist/socialist totalitarianism, Islamofascism and treason!!

I don’t hold out much hope for the Paul Krugman Daily Affirmations App...

Try reporting on what’s going on instead of just making up the news and pushing the Commie agenda.

Ping. The numbers here.

NY Times to roll out new products in search of revenue

Frozen burritos seem to be an increasingly popular item. They should consider those.

NY Times to roll out new products ...
Like what, the truth?

[Gen.Blather]

My local paper, The Tallahassee Democrat, has several times run surveys to see what the great unwashed populace wanted. Then they ran each question and suggestion with an explanation of why the people where wrong and how they weren’t going to change anything. They asked the question. The answer was, we want a more balanced paper. Get rid of Doonesbury. Essentially, they said no.

They have several times started delivering it free. They do this when they have big advertising like for Thanksgiving. I called to make them stop it as I wasn’t home and nothing says rob-me like having several old papers at the end of the drive. I was told that it was free and they couldn’t stop delivery. Imagine. You can’t make them stop dropping it off for free. How desperate are they to get that circulation number up?

I like the Krugman doll. Ask it a question, pull a string and it says “The Answer is Carbon Tax”.

“How can I woo my true love?”

“The answer is a carbon tax.”

The DNC owes them. Never get into an argument with someone that buys their ink with an EBT card.

Hey Pinch! You wanna save the Old Gray Whore? How about some honest journalism, and way less editorializing?

I crack me up.

I am astonished that the NYT has not figured it out: (1) raise rates by 50% across the board; (2) reduce all salaries of all employees making above $100,000 to $100,000 a year and raise all under that amount to that amount (everyone gets equal pay); (3) ask Gov. Cuomo for a $500 million one time gift to the NYT.

If this does not work, I suggest bankruptcy and liquidation.

The company plans to roll out a line of lower-priced products - including an expansion into e-commerce and games - to attract more readers around the world. "We want to deepen our relationship with our existing loyal customers, but we also want to use a wider family of New York Times products to reach new customers both here and around the world," Chief Executive Officer Mark Thompson said in a statement.

That's why they're failing - it's a vanity publication... never a good idea to let the monkey's run the zoo.
