This is going to end up being a lot more than a bunch of tough talking tweets.

He's gonna take down the Slimes.

After Trump was elected, the number of digital subscriptions to the NY Times increased dramatically, and their advertising revenue went up. They are becoming increasingly profitable.

A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. I guess tweeting the same thing over and over is more fun than locking her up.

They will stay in business just as long as the corrupt Slim finances them. They are beholden to a narco state for money.

Everyone on FreeRepublic should read this Twitter post and then ask themselves why he would ever give this particular media outlet the exclusive interview for his "Jeff Sessions Betrayed Me" rant last month.

I knew that whole thing was a farce as soon as I heard that he had been interviewed by the NYT. LOL.

I agree, the NYT is profitable and it’s not going anywhere. It makes Trump look a little ridiculous. He should be doing something about the coup like removing Rosenstein at the very least.

This is subterfuge, or nowadays known as the "Cheese In the Maze" strategy.

Wait a few days while the talking heads explode about The Slimes, the media etc. Then pay close attention to what the other hand is doing, and we'll undoubtedly see a few more WINS being racked up.

Or use a dummy corporation to buy it, bring in new editors and change the slant on how stories are reported.

Have to agree. I don’t see any true evidence of ignorance, growing pains or any other presidential action for tht matter.Many are misunderstood. many more have been negatively spun but they always seem to make sense somehow later down the road.....maybe much later.....ceo’s do 5 year forecasts normally...

Is that why they keep laying off more and more staff, including even senior editors and long serving staff even as we speak?

I sincerely hope so. But to do so, the effort to reveal its intellectual corruption must continue full force. Owning the NYT is not about profit. It is a vanity asset that buys its owner access to liberals in high places.

The stock price is near a 52 week high. Are we sure Trump divested all hid stock. Maybe he kept a few shares of this one around and is trying to drive the price hogher.

“Robust digital growth powered The New York Times Company to one of its strongest quarters in recent years, as rising digital advertising revenue and new online subscriptions offset continued declines in print advertising.

The company said on Thursday that digital advertising revenue in the second quarter rose 23 percent, to $55 million. That represents nearly 42 percent of total advertising revenue, compared with 34 percent in the same quarter last year.”
