Enjoy the Plummet.

[Dallas59]

What is the "New York Times"?

[MarkeyD]

It's a quagmire!

[peyton randolph]

Looks like the stock is in a QUAGMIRE.

[coconutt2000]

Liberals should end their illegal occupation of the paper.

[ConservativeGreek]

We need Congressional hearings!

Best news all day.

[peyton randolph]

Beat me by 16 seconds with that observation.

[Petronski]

[ncountylee]

Almost ski season?

[Mo1]

Didn't they have to sell their building to help fund the paper??

[billybudd]

I'd like to make a toast .... to another two years of the NYT stock falling another 45%.

[peyton randolph]

Liberals should end their illegal occupation of the paper.

Wonder if Pinch has an exit strategy. Is there a timetable for him to withdraw?

[SteveMcKing]

Women and minorities hit hardest....

[ncountylee]

Seniors too.

[Parley Baer]

I like the direction the graph. In the background I can hear the "fat Lady" warming up her vocal cords. Bwahahahahahahahahahaha. Hehehehehehehe.

[ChadGore]

Loosing money? Try the truth!

It's free.

[CAluvdubya]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!Schadenfreude, I admit it

[Aquinasfan]

Merry Christmas!

[Fudd Fan]

MMMWWWAAA-HAAA-HAAAA!!

[new yorker 77]

I just felt like doing a focus group of reality.

I went to the Yahoo Finance section and looked up the NY Slimes to see what Americans, with money and who are willing to invest, think of the New York Slimes.

Then I did a math problem using the height of the stock value two years ago versus today's stock and eureka. I created my own AP Headline. Although, my headline is reality and it targets a leftist organization.

If the liberals at AP, Yahoo News and Google News want to post this, feel free to do so.

Wait, hell hasn't frozen over.

[JLGALT]

Great! When the price gets low enough maybe we can buy it and fire the whole bunch and start printing the "actual" news!

[bray]

Stuck in the Quagmire of Nam! The Ethical Bankruptcy of the Stone Age Press is being shown by fewer users. The Commies need to be purged for Freedom.

Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops

[dr_who_2]

Not until it plummets the rest of the 55%.

[Fudd Fan]

"Excellent!"

[abb]

It's a dark cloud that has no silver lining - just think of all the trees that are alive because of the decline of newspaper readership...

[bray]

Guess there really is a Recession??

It appears that many a conservative investor/stockholder is getting out while they still can recoup their investments.

Seditious, Treasonous Liberal jerks have it coming, though. I hope in the next two years we'll see the "Old Gray Hag" become totally extinct. THAT would be really cool! A major newspaper with an otherwise rich history bites it!

One can only hope.

The New York Times Theme Song

[hiredhand]

Listen to the rasping, dying breaths of the NYT. They blame conservative talk radio, blogs, FreeRepublic for their decline. Yet, having access to the same resource to "make it happen", they toss and turn in their death throws.

Good riddance. If only NPR could die a similar death!

[Shion]

If they'd quit making stuff up, more people might read it.

Wow, that sure sounds easy now that I write it down, goes a bit over their heads still.

[Laserman]

Actually, that would probably be a huge moneymaker. Buy it cheap, start printing the truth, and watch the stock SOAR!

[Beckwith]

Doesn't that graph paint a pretty picture. Pinch gotta go!

[GSlob]

Well, here is a suggestion for them: they ought to stop using printer's ink altogether, and "print" [more precisely, issue] their paper on good quality sanitary tissue, with appropriate perforations on each page. This way their product would represent an intrinsic [if temporary] value, which would put a floor under the price. Also, this approach will result in dramatic savings on the staff, which savings should go straight to the bottom line.

[Liz]

Snicker-----looks like "Pinch" lacks the punch to get the job done.

Betcha Dads is none too happy with his scion's screwing up the "Paper of (gag) Record."

[Gondring]

I'm just waiting for President Bush to announce a bailout plan... :-(

[new yorker 77]

[Liz]

FReeper Dave's got all the goods on the Slimes----and some great graphs.

Course, when the NYT began desperation selling of real estate awhile back, some of us predicted things were going southward subito.

[gbaker]

Is the Post going the other way?

[JennysCool]

Hey -- destroying stockholder value, obliterating the paper's vaunted history, wiping out the advertising base, alienating subscribers and killing any semblance of credibility is a small price to pay to keep Pinch's '60s fantasies alive!

[glock rocks]

We continue unearth the crimes
of the Bush regieme.
Our successes are unmatched.

[new yorker 77]

Lets find out.

[buck61]

Yeah baby, go, go, go , go way down.

[BIGLOOK]

Holy fish wrap, Batman!

[DoughtyOne]

Looks like the NY Times and the Washington Post aren't going to figure out that you can't take a President down these days with lies and inuendo. And selling out troops on the ground won't win them friends either. In fact, sounding as if you're the U.S. propaganda arm of Al Qaeda just hasn't paid off has it.

You have to love the way their trash articles are backfiring, and they still haven't figured it out.

Adios NY Times. Don't let the barn door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. And while you're at it, do you mind taking the trash (the Washington Post) out with you?

[appeal2]

I hope it goes down to zero. Fact is NYT is reaching the point where it is worth more dead than alive. The real estate is worth more than the company now.

It would be nice if price trending of home heating oil would drop the same way.
