From the New York Times' stockholders meeting:

 

2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

April 18, 2006
New York, New York

Arthur Sulzberger, Jr.
Chairman, The New York Times Company
Publisher, The New York Times

Janet L. Robinson
President and Chief Executive Officer,
The New York Times Company

Arthur "Pinch" Sulzberger:

Good morning. I am Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., Chairman of The New York Times Company. Welcome to our annual meeting and thank you for your interest in our Company...

<Much self-congratulatory back-patting snipped.>

As Bill Keller told our newsroom yesterday as our Pulitzers were awarded: Prizes don't always say anything terribly important about the state of our business, but [t]his year's Pulitzers do, and what they say is: the country has never needed us more than it does today.

Amen.

How's that for chutzpah?

[Mr. Keys]

I really do agree with him. Today there are many more puppies to housebreak and many more birdcages to line. Plus it's recyclable.

“Our dilligent dumpster divers on 43rd Street have located the first draft of Bill Keller's patient explanation of the New York Times’ ethics policy.”

The Pulitzer the Times won is worth less than a used condom.

I think there is the very real possibility that the leak investigations are getting too close for comfort for the NY Times and the Times attempted to blackmail the administration into backing off. Apparently the Times didn't get what they wanted.

Onr thing is for sure. If a bulletin came over that a terrorist bomb was definitely going to go off in New York, I would take shelter in the NY Times building. No way Al Quaeda would ever blow up their cohorts.

Want to smash the NY Slimes. Check your mutual funds to see if they own NYT, the Ny slimes Stock:

How many of us own mutual funds which own NY Slimes stock and even worse have increased their NYT holdings this year.

NYT investment by a mutual fund company is a terrible investment re the dollar loss in Stock value the last 2 years. Those investments are an attempt to keep the NY Slimes afloat with our mutual fund $'s.

Now it is very evident that the NY Slimes is an agent and abettor of the al Qaeda Serial Killers. The Slimes is endangering the lives of our families, friends, innocent Americans and every warrior of ours.

Go to this link to see if your mutual fund owns NYT. Fidelity has increased its shares for some of its funds, and they will be hearing from me before the week is over.

Who are the stockholders of the NYT? The public has a right to know. It's in the public interest.

[Toskrin]

Did all these morons inherit their jobs from their mommies and daddies?

[TET1968]

The Times has let go a lot of people lately and I predict they will be Firing hundreds more
before the year is over.

That's quite a herd of pissed off employee's for the investigator's to mine.

Is there any reason why we (someone) cannot find and list ALL of the NYT advertisers and then call for a boycott (if they do not agree to withdraw their advertisement in this piece of trash) of these individuals/companies/businesses?

[infidel29]

the country has never needed us more than it does today.

I'm sure from a socialist's point of view he's correct. More and more the country is returning to it's conservative roots and the leftists at the NYT don't like it.

I went through the sections of the online edition on 6-27-06. The advertisers are posted here:

"Country Has Never Needed Us More Than Today"

Which country did they have in mind?

[kcvl]

I have never seen more prissy, arrogant 'men' in one place!

NO, we actually don't need them and never have!
