The New York Times is junk


The New York Times is junk

Hat Tip: Don Surber: No time

October 24, 2008

My heart is breaking.

We maybe not so much.

Perhaps if Illinois Senator Barack Obama is elected president, he will add an extra-dedicated tax to go directly to support the New York Times.

After all; if he is successful on November 4th, 2008 – he will owe a great deal of his election victory to the New York Times, which has steadfastly carried the water for him at the cost of the further erosion of any credibility – and it’s heretofore legitimacy.

Mr. Surber suggests that the New York Times’ bond rating is not a reflection of its content and I’m not sure that I totally agree.

The New York Times, a member of the Lumbriculidae family of biased media, is at this point, a “Tempest Prognosticator” for a portion of the old-formerly elite media that lost its moorings and credibility during the 2008 presidential campaign. Other examples are NBC, MSNBC, and CNN.

A certain portion of its economic demise of the New York Times is a direct reflection of the fact that it has counted on surviving the fast-evolving changes in media by becoming a biased mouthpiece for limousine liberals, who only support their own care and feeding.

After it is used up, liberals will discard it just as they did Cindy Sheehan.

Nevertheless, ultimately I have no glee over the slow and painful demise of the paper. The New York Times has become the poster boy for everything that has gone wrong with the print media in the last decade and it has given all of us in the print media a black eye.

The only silver lining is that small community-oriented newspapers that are accountable, and have been flexible and adaptive, are seeing a resurgence.

Anyway, Don Surber said…

Bond raters: NYT is junk.

Standard & Poor has lowered NYT’s rating to BB-minus. In corporate bond trading that is junk, making the parent company of the New York Times a subprime borrower.

Moody’s said it will follow in dropping the rating.

  1. No one ever "used" Cindy Sheehan.

    Pelosi uses our tax money to shore up her personal investments.

    Bailout America and get rid of incumbents that feel they are "Entitled" to their seats.
