Slimes Schadenfreude
In case Romney’s steady climb in the polls hasn’t put a spring in your step, here’s more good news — the New York Times, arguably the most profoundly loathsome institution in America — is lurching into the tar pits like a geriatric dinosaur:
The New York Times Co reported worse-than-expected results on Thursday as advertisers cut spending on both print and digital outlets, sending shares down 12 percent. …
Adjusting for severance costs and other special items, the company reported a quarterly loss of 1 cent per share, well below expectations of earnings of 8 cents per share. …
Print ad revenue, coming primarily from its namesake newspaper and the Boston Globe, dropped almost 11 percent from a year earlier – an even steeper decline from the previous quarter.
Digital ad revenue, which has been a bright spot for the company, fell 2.2 percent.
It has all been sliding downhill for the moonbat establishment’s flagship publication.
Once a sprawling media conglomerate, The New York Times has tightened its focus and shed assets. Over the past year, it sold a group of newspapers in the U.S. Southeast and in California, digital property About Group and stakes in sports ventures including the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool Soccer Club.
It is now down to a handful of newspapers, including its flagship, the Boston Globe, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette and the International Herald Tribune.
The Slimes had better not go completely under; the jabbering apparatchiks at the alphabet networks rely on it to tell them what stories to cover to best serve the liberal agenda. But then, the sand in the hourglass could be running low for them too.
On a tip from Shawn R.
But they have a Nobel prize winning economist on staff.
I’ve been boycotting the Times since the Tawana Brawley
days. Their fawning over the slimy Sharpton gang was
nauseating.
Walter Duranty! ’nuff said?!
They should eat shit and die!
And they certainly covered themselves in glory with their reportage on the Duke lacrosse team case. Not to mention their takes on Fifo Castro, the “non-existent” Ukrainian famine in 1932-33, and other cases too numerous to lift in full.
Die, quickly!

Ahhh,a little sugar with my coffee!
I never read it…don’t think it makes it all the way to TEXAS.bwahaha.Buh-bye.
Oh my, I hope the Slimes doesn’t go out of business. I need them. Nothing else is better for lining bird cages, it is without a doubt the most absorbent thing to handle bird droppings ( I kid you not, part of my job is taking care of 10 parrots in the lobby of a private school)
Heck, i can ask strangers to lie to me for free
news (value) lies (worthless)
I hope they don’t die completely, but join the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Newsweek, the Christian Science Monitor and others in the on-line afterlife. They are like the supercriminals from Krypton exiled to the Phantom Zone– rage-consumed, shrieking shadow images who still spout their poison but are utterly harmless and useless to the rest of us.
