    Still they won’t change a thing in order to make a profit. That is socialism, they believe they are serving the common good, more important then making a profit…..well their version of serving the common good, not mine. I don’t need the NYT reporting their version of the truth (whatever they decided on today is the truth) remember Jayson Blair. NYT deciding my news consumtion, for my own good. I am a grown up, I will decide what is for my own good. Hint, it isn’t a subscription to the New York Times.

    They can blame this on us (the internet) if they choose but it’s not for the reasons they think. The reason is because they are being more exposed in the crap untruths they print and are being called out on it. Same goes with these phony transparent Dems.

    Now, it would seem to me, if I was chairman, that if you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting. Instead of continuing with the poor news reporting, I’d look to changing it, rather than complain. But libs use emotion to steer them, I use logic.

    This is what I said yesterday when NYT outed the NC jihadist.

    Working as an IT professional and having read Thomas L Friedman’s article in the syndicated columns in The Indian Express back in India, I have had a good impression about NYT. Seeing what they consistently do to undermine national security….
    bye bye NYT.

    On a lighter note ajmontana, if you had to look up pwn3d, then you sure are old, real old like… from baby boomers, may be older than that ;)

    I think this is a combination of things. Of course the internet and news available from so many sources, ads sales moving to the internet, but socialist running a business has never been a good idea — I think the paper of record is so far to the left it has lost relevance with the majority of readers. Treasonist behavior should not be rewarded – I think it is finally coming to pass.

    Organizations like the NY Times and CNN will continue to run at a loss through the 2008 election cycle inorder to promote Hillary and run down her Republican challengers. They figure that her election will guarantee better access to the Presidency and better circulation or viewership. It is likely they will lose the bet on circulation or viewership but regardless they can comfort themselves in having done the right thing.

    They are being watched now, by both the Exchange and the SEC.

    When they hit $5.00 a share, they’ll get a nice letter reminding them of the listing requirements. When they hit $1.00 a share they will get a relatively short period of time to get out of the basement.

    Watch for some financial sleight of hand like a reverse stock split – you end up with less shares than you started with but with less shares out there the value of each share presumably increases.

    I haven’t looked at their financials, but it does not sound like they have enough cash or capital yo buy back shares to try to boost the stock price.

    I find it very ineresting that any other company experiencing such a drastic a decline in share prices would be battling multiple class action suits by now. I have not seen any against the NYT at this point, but I have not been specifically looking for those either.

    Any rumors of the death of the NYT are just that rumors.

    The reason is that even if the drive the stock into the cellar, there are enough big pocket people who want it for the megaphone for their usage.

    If the stock totally tanks, they will take the paper private if necessary.

    They throw much more each year into lobbying, political groups and organizations and will not let the Times die.

    If they take it private, then they can do full page adds without having to pay for them at all.

    Nope it will live on in some form or another.

    Even if the DOJ grew a pair and ended up running them out of business, a clone would show up to fill the gap.

    The NYT has been doing the work of our terrorist enemies from the beginning. So overriding is their hatred for Pres. Bush that nothing else in life matters beyond his destruction. Watching the NYT slide toward oblivion has heartened me and revived my belief in the overall decency and intelligence of the American people. Now if only they will complete the last act. Keller, Rich, Dowd et. al. all hold hands and leap from the roof of what has been your place of work.
