so, it would be a lot like Pravda under USSR?

...in order to throw off the $200 million in annual income required to operate the paper, the endowment required would be . . . $5 billion.

I hear there's a guy, can't recall his name exactly, Markoff or Madouf or something like that, cranks out 12% a year.

Invest the endowment with him and they only need $1.5 billion. ;-P

While the ‘Rats are busy designing ways to Hush Rush, they want to use public money to ensure their House mouthpiece continues.

UH, we already have that: NPR

What do they care? OPM!

Do we need a print edition of NPR and PBS?

An op-ed in the New York Times suggests turning the paper into a non-profit.

From what I hear, if their sales get much lower, they won't need a government program, they'll need a “going out of business” sale. They are rapidly approaching “nonprofit” status as we speak. I intend to continue supporting the impending “nonprofit status” of the New York Times by doing what I've always done - not buying their worthless rag.

So then they would be fair and balanced like NPR. /s

Question: who's going to give the New York Times that US$5 billion endowment? Even Lefty financiers like Warren Buffett and George Soros aren't going to put that much money into what amounts to a giveaway just to support this paper.

[Ditter]

I hope the NYT goes broke. I have done my small part. I returned their request for a subscription to them with a REMOVE THIS NAME FROM YOUR MAILING LIST note and I used their own pre paid envelope. I guess I could have returned a few envelopes empty before stopping them but that seemed excessive.

An op-ed in the New York Times suggests turning the paper into a non-profit!

Just let Yale put up $5 billion from its own shrinking endowment for this purpose —— move the Times staff to New Haven and re-brand it as the “New Haven Times”......

It would be a great extra-curricular activity for all the young Yale liberals who could displace a lot of the expensive “professional” journalists.......

A great educational move for Yale!

WOW.

The NYTimes is already not-for-profit.

It’s just unintentional.
