Hey, Comrade, what took you so long?
You really have to peel back the onion in terms of what youre offering, she said.
Peel back the onion? Not nearly the eloquence you might expect from the Times.
In trying to explain the shockingly weak ad results, Denise Warren, the Times Chief Advertising Officer describes the Times situation in terms of an onion, which is much more revealing than you might think, the Times' perspective on the world more like "the Onion" than what is really going on.
Warren:Uh, uh,.... oh, uh...oh, uh....ahem...uhhh. Okay. Okay. Let me say it the way it is. Frankly, we're just slime, a situation that predates the internet and the people know it.

When you're in the news business, what you're ultimately selling is a trustworthy delivery of what's happening now. The
NYT and other liberals lost sight of that fact, and once you lose trust, you never get it back.
The Times isn't an old grey lady anymore. She's just a dead gal walking.

What are the demographics of the average NYT reader:
1. 30 and up
2. In education or media industries
3. In arts production or finance
4. Financially well off, trust babies
5. Very DNC connected
Not that many people. Why they should be so relevant is beyond me. They are the liberal mafia.

Newspapers forgot what business they were in. If asked, most today would say they were in the information business, that is wrong.
Newspapers are in the eyeball business. Simply put, they do not make money on subscription, they make money on advertisement. The more eyes that see the ad the more they can charge.
Now newspapers have never been unbias. Yellow journalism was the norm, so what makes a difference today as opposed to a hundred years ago?
This is also simple. Up until the 1950s every major city and many smaller cities had two or more newspapers. Each with their own point of view. This was so common that many newspaper included their bias in their name, either Republican or Democrat. Even if they did not, the readers knew their bias.
People subscribed to the newspaper that match their point of view.
In the 1950s many things began to change and reading newspapers stop being the habit it once was. As readership declined and newspapers began to go out of business the industry made their fatal mistake. They kept their bias which automatically turned off many of their readers.
Today there are many sources of information. If you are politically on the far left, you read the New York Times or the LA Times if not, why bother.
To be honest I do not want a news source that just re-enforces my beliefs. I want a simple un-bias presentation of the facts; who, what, when, where and why.
No one killed killed newspapers, they committed suicide.

Many consumers purchase a newspaper specifically for its advertising. That doesn't carry over to a digital format. People who want to buy something via internet go to Craigslist, eBay, Amazon, etc. The Times Co. has spent a couple of billion looking for ways to transfer its retail display and classified ads—and the huge revenue they produce—onto its on-line news product. Eventually somebody might figure it out but it will probably be some 20-year-old kid doing graphics at an ad agency.

The New York Times is a Communist Kamikaze. They have purposely crashed their craft into the superstructure of good old fashioned American ideals and Judeo-Christian values. What’s left of them belongs at the bottom of the ocean.

Is that the ads remaining unsold or the mounds of liberal tripe still lying around the offices?

On the cyclical front, she said, You can write off the economy but we are hearing from business leaders that they are extremely concerned and the lack of business confidence is growing. That's not what Obama says, yet they'll still endorse him.

Hurry up and die already. Nobody reads it, so no advertisers go near it.
When USA Today has double your circulation (1,900,000 v 900,000), you should get the message.
