Actually, the NYT is serving a market. For the loony left, they have become Moonbat Central.
Their business plan has actually identified a viable market and they have focussed on serving it. It will definitely keep them alive indefinitely, though at somewhat lower profitability than they might be used to. But there's no longer any need for the rest of us to take them seriously.
The NYT is the CNN of newspapers around the world. We understand they are a fringe nothing but the rest of the world sees this and thinks bush has a ral problem.
Only those inside the beltway care about this story.
