Every conservative who subscribes to the NY Times should take note and cancel now. It would undermined a statist institution, save them money and most importantly make them smarter.

After all, time wasted reading a censored site is time you must spend reading a site that actually informs you. That is if you don’t want to say not realize there is a “fast and furious” scandal until Congress votes to find the AG in contempt.

Frankly, I think we are being lied to. I don’t believe the NYT is making a profit off of its online sales. And i predict we will get a clarification on this from knowledgeable sources. Bottom line: liberals lie.

At that rate, it will take 8 quarters to make up the loss for the past one quarter.

The hole from the iceberg is long and deep and cramming a mattress into one end won’t stop the onrushing sea.

Wow.
The old gray b!tch is losing nearly $1 million per day to proselytize the extreme left’s views.

Make sure you never pay a dime for a copy, never click on any ads on their page and do all you can to deprive the depraved of income.

The headline is a big piece of BS. I worked in the newspaper business for several years when I was younger. Circulation revenues as a rule of thumb, pays the operating expenses of the circulation department. That's it.

No print periodical could survive strictly on circulation dollars alone.

This headline is totally misleading. What has happened is the income from subscriptions and online paywalls now totals more than ad revenue. It’s actually a sign of the newspaper’s continued decline. They lost $88 million. Subscriptions and reader revenue would have to rise by $300 million to over $500 million for the newspaper to break even. So, NO, readers are NOT supporting the times. They are nowhere near supporting the times. And it will continue to deteriorate as ad revenue continues to fall.

Note the attempt to obfuscate the following key statement with much meaningless blather:

“New York Times Company, which reported a second-quarter net loss of $88.1 million today.”

That would be a $88 million dollar loss against $453 million income. Doesn’t look sustainable to me for very much longer. Thank God. The bankruptcy of the anti-American, anti-free-enterprise, anti-capitalism, pro-Marxist, pro-socialist New York Times can not come soon enough for me.

All the NYT has to do to cover losses is hike their subscription fees. I mean, it works for taxes, right?

I still have fond memories of the Wednesday NYT, the Living section with the Pierre Franney "60 Minute Gourmet" column. That is where I learned to cook.

But now that I have all the books, I don't need them anymore. Haven't for decades.

I just got a letter of solicitation from the NYT to sign up for a subscription. It made a nice scoop when my dog vomited on the rug.

"at the New York Times Company, which reported a second-quarter net loss of $88.1 million today."

I suppose the word "supported" has different meanings to different people!

I subscribed in the past -- last time would have been about 10 years ago. I haven't subscribed since, partly because of the Times' jihad against Bush/Cheney, partly because my kid went off to college and the "Science Times" went unread, but mostly because Times Home Delivery left the Sunday Times in the middle of my driveway. In a snowstorm. Where I found it with my snowblower, bending the main shaft of the snowblower.

I wouldn't subscribe now if the Times was free. (It was a nice old snowblower.)

They’d get more readers if they actually published unbiased news stories and also offered conservative slants on issues as well.

But with over 90% of journalists self-described as voting democrat, I hardly think it will ever happen.

I salute the courageous little sailors at the new york times. There they are, bravely shooting holes into the bottom of their sinking ship to let the water out. The good ship NBC is steaming full speed ahead pumping water into the hold to help out.

Our local Gannett generi-paper the Indianapolis Star just announced today they are taking the same approach.
Paywall for digital, and a big price increase.
