Is the New York Times to Big to Fail?

Don’t be surprised when the Dems slip in a bailout for their communication arm, The New York Times, in an upcoming stimulus Omnibus.

Apparently, the Times is as close as GM to Chapter 11. Off coarse they deny it; but then so did WaMu, months before it’s demise.

Here they take issue with what was reported in an Atlantic Monthly article:

New York Times: We're Not Going Bankrupt In May (NYT)

The irony drips off this story like slime off of Alien’s jaws. Imagine it: the icon of political slant and factual inaccuracy, now cries foul, when the tables turn.

It just goes to show, you can’t believe everything you read.

I've been wondering. Times are hard for every business, and 24 hour news and the internet has cut into print revenue. fabricating stories doesn't help your bottom line. Good riddance to them.

I will toss a party to have the left wing toilet paper factory called New York Times fail.

It amazes me take TV as a example but its not that different for the rags, CNN and MSNBC pushes a strong left wing agenda and yet they cant even get in sniffin distance of fox news. But they demonize Fox for it instead of figuring out how they are doing so good.

When will they realize that telling lies and selling opinion as the news dont work and makes for a bad business model.

But then I did say their left wing.

Ya know the side that says if it is a failure then its your fault for not being smart enough to get it. Couldn't be anything to do with the fact that is sucked in the first place.

Have you ever noticed that people think that media that agrees with them always has the facts right and those that disagree are liars.

YES!!

But that being said, facts are facts. What I object to is the disregard for objectivity.

I don't dislike them all just the left wing loony papers, but when you see CNN starting to bash obama maybe you should take notice. unless you think Katie wHorick is a republican.
