Who the fuck cares. TNYT are nothing but shady pieces of shit. My great uncle worked for them, and it was one big slave-driving sweatshop.

Unfortunately, it's not gas…they can thank themselves for being one of the most biased media outlets in the States, and people are ready for unbiased/fair reporting…look at the drastic change in viewership among the television news outlets…FOX NEWS IS KING!

Once again, you show that you have no experience in journalism whatsoever. Although you make think the the NY Times is the creme de la creme, it hurts like every other newspaper. Advertising is going away from print because people are on the Internet, so even if they have less to spend, they'll spend it where people are going to be for sure. Additionally, if they're trying to reach people 35-under they're going to the Internet. Papers are going to die with the Baby Boomers.

OIL, NO!! Blame the liberal nuts that run it that want to push their bias agenda. The New York Times has lost all integrity and no longer reports a fair account of what is REALLY going on in the political world.

Several reasons, but not oil. The loss of credibility, lack of relevancy, and the Time's liberal stance are several issues that have contributed to the loss of readership.

Blame oil? Hahahaha..Oh! You are serious?

The NYT has displayed incredible bias in their reporting (not to mention national security leaks) and as Rev. Wright likes to say, it's the chickens coming home to roost.

The problem isn't oil. The problem is the internet. The majority of people who used to read print media now get the same information on the internet. That is why ALL of the print media outlets are having issues. In Britain, they actually package gifts in the magazines to get people to buy them… every month.

Fewer people owning parakeets. No need to buy cage liners.

Oh, and they aren't a "news" paper, they are an "agenda" paper. What will all the laid off people at Air America do with no paper to read with that bitter cup of bile they drink every morning?

Re: krazihottkelli/bitchygrl –

The New Yorker not NYT. You must work for the NYT, because like them you got the facts WRONG, or you just tried to get over on us like the New York Times does.

It's due to their loss of objectivity. They have no journalistic integrity.

Amanda Bynes Was Involved In ANOTHER Hit-And-Run!

Can someone take this girl's license away, please?

Amanda Bynes will finally be appearing court on June 6th for her April 6th DUI arrest, but apparently, she's may have to return very soon after that, because the actress was involved in ANOTHER hit-and-run only a few short days AFTER the first!
