"They were advertising 89% off the subscription price! I bet there aren't many takers even at that. I have had my fill of their screed and they can't pay me to take it. "

My 80 year old mother still takes Time, so I still read it every once in a while. But it is like pulling teeth, the pages just drip with innuendo. "If only you were as smart and liberal as we are!"

Kewl. Pinch gifts me a belated Xmas present: yet another new trophy to add to my shrine to Olds Media. :) A work of FReeper performance art known as Got them Olds Media Circulation Blues inspired by an ancient axiom that bad news sells. ;)

I wish the New York Times would change its name to "The Al-Quaeda Sentinal" for it would be more accurate..... :-)

I hear Pinch is turning in his key to the executive washroom and is getting a new job in the executive washroom.

My distrust of the MSM is second to none, but I must point out that much of news one reads on the internet has its orgin from the MSM. Note I did not assert all the news.

that much of news one reads on the internet has its orgin from the MSM.

Our fleeting golden age of Inet comedy owes its existence to a vast motherload of Olds Media cluelessness.

Note I did not assert all the news.

New Media offers a plethora of genuine news outlets. Sites like Michael Yon's Blog, which recently launched a new venture named Frontline Forum.

We returned the pre-paid return envelope empty.

You should have wrapped it around a brick before you sent it back.

Newspapers make their money from advertisement revenue. You don't make money off of out-of-town sales. Most major-city newspapers will be sold only at transportation sites, because their real audience is travellers.

NYT is simply using low-profit out-of-town sales to mask their terrible readership declines in their own market.

That's not at all---- they are selling off real estate ----a reliable indication, and desperation tactic---that they are pumping the sagging bottom line, probably with questionable accounting methods.

Did the Times ever hear of Sarbanes-Oxley (chuckle)?

Great info. thank you. :)

When the MSM dies, so will the Democratic Party which no longer will be able to skate passed all the outrageous antics they display on a daily basis. Without the MSM to push the agenda and create a false sense of public support for Liberal ideology, they country will slowly return to some level of sanity.
