Profit Plunge at the New York Times

GOOD

I'd like to hear what Bill O'Reilly has to say about this! Good riddance NYT. It couldn't happen to a more deserving rag.

Liz, Has the great prophet O'Reilly indeed foreseen the doom of this once great icon of the press? Their undeclared war on FOXNews(among others) and their one-sided, liberal bias has driven away once faithful readers. I won't even do their crossword puzzles any more! Mac in Miami

Rush signs a contract for 400m and the Times tanks...get used to it lefty.

The best part is that they don't understand why. It's probably all just a vast right-wing conspiracy.

It's fascinating that a group of right-wing bloggers see it fit to castigate for the New York Times for one-sided reporting, which it does not engage in - having both conservative and liberal columnists - and doing so, in the most idiotic and hypocritical forum imaginable: any related to Rupert Murdoch. God, people, whom are you fooling? Look at yourselves, and stop throwing stones as long as you reside in the glasshouse constructed by Murdoch and Cavuto/Ailes. And - by the way - if you have trouble comprehending any of the words above (which is very likely, given the usual readership base for this trash), consider picking up a book and reading it.

Revenues for all papers are sliding,not because of liberal or conservative leaning but due to the changing ways we get our news.

I hope it rolls over for good. When you stop reporting the news in favor of promoting your views this is the result. ABC, CBS and NBC is not far behind! Just witness their pandering to Obama and his trip and virtually ignoring McCain.

I wouldnt line a birdcage with the NY Times. I can understand a paper having a liberal slant, but they take it way too far.

Ditto, ditto and ditto Love IT!

I want a paper to give me the news not sell me on their opinion based on the mix of stories they provide. The Times is a propaganda rag, nothing more. Fidel would be proud to have it in Cuba. RIP NTY Times, I no longer buy it.

The NY Times brought this on themselves. Their incessant need to try to harm the Bush Administration in any way they can, they leak information that may/has cause damage to our ability to fight our enemies. If they tried to do the same thing during WWII, the paper would have been shut down as the traitors they are. I was called by a NYT subscription sales agent about a month ago. He YELLED at me when I told him I would not buy the Times because of their obvious liberal bias, and their inability to report the news from a neutral point of view. I said "I don't need my news pre-digested." He called me a back-woods country f*** Republican.... I told him I grew up in Boston, and live in LA, so how could I a country f*** Republican? He hung up on me... If this is a reflection of how the NY Times does business, it is my sincere hope that they fold as an organization.

It is about time that liberal Newspaper does down the drain to the gutter enough is enough. Too bad they can take their liberal friends with them.

Ya know, I can't add to the list of comments already posted. Previous posters have said it all. Buh-bye, NYT.

Hooray for Fox News for keeping the full court press on the NYT. Maybe Rupert Murdoch will buy NYT and turn it back into a profitable, balanced publication.

Only risk in NYT failure is that Obama is elected and he gets the Dem congress to bail it out by making it the paper version of PBS. Remember, Fasists/communists always control their proaganda media.

Ms. MacDonald: What's the NYT's circulation trend and, is there any discernable apparent connection between that and their left-of-center bias?

Liberal print is dead! Hope there is more rags to follow.

Wonderful News keep it coming.

If The New York Times fails, how will Al Qaeda and The Taliban get their respectives messages to the American people ? The editorial board at this alleged newspaper should be indicted for treason. I do believe the end is near.

It just goes to show you that Capitalism still works. The NYT caters to the pinkos, so maybe they should seek funding from the Government. I'm sure that Jon Corzine (the Governor of the People's State of New Jersey) would gladly saddle us with more debt to prop them up. In the interest of equal access of course...

When's the funeral. I want to send some cold, dead and black flowers. Of course the Demon-Crats will cry foul becuse of the fairness doctrine. Just like Air (Error) America - a liberal rag or radio business will not last.

Very appropriate for the National Enquirer puls very liberal biased rag-sheet. FAILURE for those who invent the news and try and influence others.

It may be time for Rupert Murdoch to get out his checkbook and pick up this miserable rag at a bargain price. Then he can re-format the Times, give us some worthwhile reading material on Sunday morning and make a pile of dough, all at the same time.

Just like Air America...right down the tubes. No wonder Liberals (oops..Progressives) hate open competitive markets.
