And why is that? Decreasing circulation, which results in less ad revenue. For the Times, at least, failing credibility also; Globe subscibers believe anything they read.
Only the liars get to keep their jobs.
This is good news for the greenies. Fewer and smaller printed newspapers, fewer trees murdered.
They should all be celebrating.
Oh tooooooooo bad, I feel sooooo osad for these BIG Corporations going down the toilet.
No really this is tooo funny.

And the problem with that is what exactly? After all, it is his money. Since when do the employees get to decide what the owner pays them or what the owner makes? They really need to get a clue or start their own business.
If it came from the nytimes, how in the wrld can you tell if it is true, I mean they are not exactly known for being honest, truthfull or unbiased.

Of course, the internet is contributing to their problems. But the fact that most of the big city newspapers are extremely liberal is probably a factor as well. Judging from recent elections, I would say that the influence of liberals is decreasing in the country. People are tired of their baloney.
Isn't that just toooo bad (chucle, chorlte, laugh) And what's better yet is they'll never understand why, they're so out of touch with reality. LOL
I think the Globe endorsed Judge Roberts.
$9 million is really a small sum for that job. 'Course, he's not worth it. He really has trashed the reputation of the NYT, and that is costing them money.
It does not take many people to just sit around and make up stories rather than do some actual investigations and truth telling.
And the hits just keep on coming! I heard on O'Reilly that the LA Times fired Michael Kinsley...
Maybe. But they have done a lot more harm than good over the years.
> And the problem with that is what exactly? After all, it is his money.
It's a morale problem. Pinch styles himself as "one of the guys" in the newsroom.
The paper drones on about the plight of the poor but the boss can afford to take a $9 million bonus? How many poor people would that feed and house? Hypocrites!!
Staggering? 500 jobs was only 4% of the work force. But, I am glad that the NYT is feeling some heat for all their liberalism.
You say, "And the problem with that is what exactly? After all, it is his money. Since when do the employees get to decide what the owner pays them or what the owner makes? They really need to get a clue or start their own business."
What you're forgetting is that this is the paper that rails against capitalism and pretends to represent the poor, the union workers and the downtrodden. The hypocrisy of the whole affair is actually incredible!
As I see it, their only hope is that the United Nations takes over the internet (UN Working Group on Internet Governance) and makes a resolution outlawing blogging.
Of course, if past actions are any indication, it will take them forever to get anyone to enforce it. ;)
> But the fact that most of the big city newspapers are extremely liberal is probably a factor as well.
And they failed to draw the line between editorial policy and reporting, which never was completely accurate and unbiased, but is now so blatently slanted that people, as you say, are tired of their baloney.
