every time this commie rag sends me a pre paid postage to subscribe ... I write I dont buy liberal trash on it and send it back to cost them money!

:)

If they love the sodomites so much, then let the 2% of the population that is sexually defective buy their trash.

Sadly it appears that the Internet will save the miserable NYT. Online they seem to be doing OK. The printed version seems doomed. Hopefully sooner than later it will no longer be available on the streets of New York City.

Of course they will subsidize the printed version with digital sales for some time. But not forever. A few years at the most.

No wonder. They are driving their readers away. Latest proof, they are stopping the column on the card game bridge. They have had it for 80 years but no longer.

Being old school and still liking ink on my fingers, I’m dismayed the newspaper box in our town stopped stocking the Wall Street Journal which I like to read during breakfast at the coffee shop. Then they started stashing a few copies on top of USA Today in the USA Today box. Thhe inside of the machine has a huge styrofoam block in it to fill up space so they only need to stock four or five copies of each paper every day. The supplier pulls out yesterday’s edition and stacks them on top of the machine so you can grab one for free — but they hardly ever get taken. I guess it’s like a penny on the ground — more trouble than it’s worth for the supplier to haul them away and dispose of them than to just leave them there.

Most stores have either drastically shrunken their magazine racks are taken them out completely. Fry’s electronics used to have an enormous mag rack, but it shrank by 75%.

It’s the end of the line for all print. Just when the government is going to eff up the internet and make it far more costly for us to access our info there.

Face it. The American population is becoming less literate. People who are the type who would agree with the NYT slanted journalistic practices and overt socialist editorials can’t read at a level to understand it. Their actual customer base is narrowing.

Ever notice how many lock you out from reading the article for “free” and then dont realize that the advertising is on the other side of the lockout...

ie. of course your ad revenue is being lost, if they dont subscribe to your adverts, they dont see your adverts and so what is the advertiser paying for?

the larger old press does this..
wall street journal, ny times etc.
(A few others ask questions and think that the answers are valid... like the one that asked me what christmas presents i was looking for this year for the kids i dont have, i said nuclear weapons... yeah, that will help the survey)

perhaps doing what trade magazines do is a way to earn ad revenue... ie write articles that people read so that advertisers will come and pay

oh.. and another thing.. news is not propaganda... news is not lies... news is not telling people what the politicos want them to believe and not the truth. all that are fictions and so, selling fiction as news is FRAUD...

people dont like fraud... they dont like paying premium for news and getting lies propaganda and bs... they can get that for free and keep their money.

news as fiction sucks compared to real fiction
so its not even competitive.
the more the people can read alternative press, foreign press and that all the press does not hide the same crap, we end up learning that the ny times is not worth the money.

given a choice of paying for a political message in the ny times and reading the same ap press rewrite for free from one of 50,000 papers, is a good way to avoid paying for crap.

the bigger thing is that the new york times thinks what it does is so great they dont get that what they do is crappy adn that the majority are not communist party aparatchicks who like to hear their ideas resonate... those are the noisy few and the young... the young dont buy papers.. the noisy few arent enough to sell adverts and they dont buy papers. conservatives buy papers more, and so, your target audience is a bunch of neer do wells with little money and who hate you for being a big company.

hows that working for you?

The New York times needs to just die already. They are a vile institution that has done nothing but support the spread of misery and bad policy.

Start a tweet campaign claiming Conservatives did this by contacting their advertisers and threatening to boycott them for posting on that Liberal rag.
