The Irrelevancy of the NYT

One man's opinion.

I pretty much agree with him.

They aren't the first paper whose rich-as-fuck ownership has different views from their readership and who have tried to push their opinions down everyone's throats. That has scuttled other papers, but the NYT has been subtler about it than, say, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, whose fuckery along those lines led to that paper's near-implosion and left Pittsburghas possibly the largest American city without a daily newspaper. (Pittsburgh has a population of about 300,000. Contrast that to New London County, CT, which has 30,000 fewer residents and at least two daily print newspapers.)

The Times keeps adding online games, so odds are that a fair number of their online subscribers are only there for them.

Anyhoo, I started on this a bit ago and I can't find where I found the link. Let me know and I'll add the credit
