McCain is STILL an idiot as shown by promoting Cuomo as SEC chief.

[jennyjenny]

Oh yeah!!

It would good if McCain ran an anti MSM ad. Get some sympathy. Worked for Hillary.

I don't know why they are so pissed about that NYT article on Rick Davis. It's accurate, and it ran on page 18. Where was this outrage when the NYT ran three page 1 stories in a row smearing Sarah Palin, including one that it took three days to get them to correct? It seems that only when Rick Davis gets attacked (fairly) do we see real outrage by the McCain camp.

Davis had to know that his work for Fannie and Freddie was going to be made an issue in this campaign. Everything in that NYT story is true, and it isn't that damaging at all. If he did not have a good answer for it he should be fired.

Schmidt has done great things to wake up the McCain campaign.

[Paladin2]

McCain is an idiot for being surprised that the pace setter of the MSM is again’ him.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Amen, Steve.

Schmidt is right on the money! And he could say the same about nearly all the large-city newspapers in this country. All are but an extension of the DNC, and tend to base their leading political stories on the talking points of the 'rats.

Yellow journalism at its finest...

Every word of what Schmidt said is true, and I’m glad he had the stones to lay it out.

The Times has determined that they want to represent the views of a very narrow segment of the public. The corollaries to that include, they will only sell papers to a narrow segment, and (more importantly) their advertisers will only reach that narrow segment.

The Times’s readers love its bias, which they generally share. The advertisers are mostly not so political, and they vote with their feet away from the collapsing ABC circulation of the paper. This goes straight to the bottom line. The Times is trading at this moment for under a third of what it sold for five years ago, which is to say that during a growth period for the economy Pinch’s inept management squandered 2/3s of his stockholders’ value. In a truly public company, management would long since have been ousted. But through a structural dodge, Pinch can only be voted out by his own family.

Finance guys expect the Times Corp. to lose a third of its remaining value over the next twelve months. (look for the terms “target price” on financial websites — most of them are $4 or $5 lower a share than today’s trading price). In part, this is because of Pinch’s ongoing mismanagement, in part, it’s because the many many little Sulzberger trust funds drawing off capital from a money-losing enterprise make it unable to invest in growth. Inevitably, the decline will force the family’s hand and Pinch will lose his empire, and Rupert Murdoch or someone who runs a business like a business will wind up owning the Times — unless they can gull some Arab “Sovereign Wealth Fund” into giving them more OPM to play with, which is unlikely: those guys are “Arab,” not “stupid.”

Here’s a link to a NTY stock chart. Note that the scale is logarithmic, so it understates the slope of the decline under Pinch.

How do you think they’ll do under an Obama regime, where they’ll have to feed all those idle Sulzberger kids after paying a 45% corporate tax rate...?

McCAin is an idiot for being surprised that the MSM are against him.
