  • NYT Execs Come Under Fire at Recent Conference
    The New York Times has been reporting the relentless outsourcing of jobs overseas, the relentless downsizing of companies to come up with interest payments for acquisitions.

    Just as the New York Times knew that Castro was a communist, but did not report it, calling him an agrarian reformer, the vastly intelligent New York Times knows that implementing a global government requires the rich nations to deflate wages and prices bring them on par with the wider world.

    This means they have to shrink their wages and balance sheet along with everyone else. What makes them think they are immune? Havne't they been covering this worldwide development month after month?

    I own some NYT for nostalgia, not wise investment.

  • Tribune's Downfall Is an Industry Warning
    Small town newspapers will survive because no one else services them. They are too small to fail from the financial wheeling dealing of the mega-dumb ones posing as elites.

    But the collapsed prices of so many media firms - from Lee to Gatehouse - is warning enough. The Trib bankruptcy is not a warning, just inevitable and resulting from elites who again prove they are more pushy and egocentric than smart.

  • Zell on Tribune's Bankruptcy: No Way to Avoid It
    Whole Foods taking out Wild Oats, Zell taking out Tribune.

    American capitalism's business plan seems to be a game of musical chairs with someone left holding the bag of smelly fish - a mixed metaphor I know.

    But I agree with the poster above. The banks deserve to be left holding this mixed bag of assets after encouraging him to do a zero-down deal.

    And I bet the original Wild Oats and Tribune shareholders turned around and lost 50 percent of their recaptured capital in the recent stock market unpleasantness.

  • It's Not All Zell's Fault - The Newspaper Model Is Busted
    With 8 billion in assets and 13 billion in debt one assumes he will be classified by the guvmint as too big to fail.

  • The New York Times Company: Bargain or Value Trap?
    I bought some nyt earlier this year and have suffered along with bigger investors who are much wealthier and smarter than me.

    This analysis certainly constrains me from averaging down and buying some more.

    I do know the Times has an ownership position in the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Park but I was not happy that money grubbing investment bankers - now discredited as frauds - talked them into selling off tv stations and other holdings. While tv and magazines are languishing too, the Times management should have held on to its broader base of assets. If nothing else, tv is arguably more digital than print.

    TV would have picked up some political advertising that newspapers cannot capture at all anymore.

  • Can a Broken New York Times Be Fixed?
    Since 9-11 40,000 newspaper jobs have been lost.

    That's because people can and do go online and to meetups and learn a lot of documented anomalies about 9-11 that have never seen the light of day in mainstream media.

    The media is dying from massaged content.

  • Ugly
    Jadzi candidly admits he and many co workers are sitting around with nothing to do.

    I briefly dated a brilliant but bipolar woman who made big bucks at Lockheed Martin. She said half of her department was disfunctional.

    I have long thought what Jadzi and she said are signs that big corporations are

    too big to manage.

    This thinking started when the O-ring problem caused the explosion of the Challenger on the launching pad.

    It was vindicated when AOL and Time Warner merged, proving no tree grows to the sky.

    GE is the latest supporting evidence.

  • Murdoch: I Won't Put the 'Times' Out of Business
    I have seen other anecdotal evidence in other fields that white heterosexual men are being barred from upper tier schools and professional training, and this is being done by people who clearly have an agenda of emasculating the white heterosexual male in the U. S. culture.

    The gatekeepers accomplishing this seem to be ethnic posers like Sulzberger who want to establish their own pre-eminence in alliance with non-white puppets.

    Theprevoiuos poster makes a point. Just as Fox News is a joke for objective news reporting because of its subservience to neocon (code for phoney Jewish conservative) agenda, so is the Times a joke for objective news reporting, as evidenced by its doublespeak description of Castro as a harmless agrarian reformer.

    Maybe we need non Mongo-Turk hetersexual males in charge of Fox and the Times, as long as they are not also British.

  • A Silver Lining in the Newspaper Crisis
    I work in the print news media and I agree the problem is content. I edit a 1500-circulation weekly and virtually all the 600 street copies I put out are snapped up by the time I get back a week later. I focus on local news - crime, human features, courts, local sports and meetings.

    On the national level, the problem is that a lot of news is now appearing on the internet because the clowns in charge have to defer to the agenda-driven money men who are going along with the fantasy-illusions being spun by the Administrations.

    I look at the original footage CNN shot at the Pentagon onthe Second Day of Infamy and then I read the official news coverage, and I allege that accounts for the masses increasingly waking up and realizing mass media - print and electronic - are irrelevant and inaccurate.

    The Denver Post has spilled tons of ink to detail the plight of poor illegally here aliens who are struggling in their attempts to get free college, free medicine and to maintain a birth rate here that is much higher than back in repressive Mejico. The Post ignores the plight of the legally here native Americans whose jobs were outsourced and now must compete with the wage-busting immigrants that callous, nation deconstructing opportunists have lured in.

    The globalist driven agenda that deflates wages - has destroyed the banks, which require ever inflating wages to pay off usury. Now that wage deflation is taking out the midldle class that used to read newspapers. Young 20 somethings struggling in their jungles not only have an aversion to reading, they have an aversion to paying $300 a year for media that stains your hands black and does not have relevant content that can't be found anywhere else cheaper.
