#2 I'd like to ask: 1. When did they decide to cease to be a newspaper? 2. Why do they make up stories and lie so much? 3. Do progressives and progressive organization funnel money into the NYTs, 4. What role does Carlos Slim play in the NYTs aside from being the biggest stockholder, i.e. what are his politics? 5. Why don't you offer a heavier grade of paper that would make it more suitable for lining the kitty litter box or canary cage?

#3 The dishonesty of the Times goes at least as far back as the famines of Stalin. They have, AFAICT, always been slanted left on stories of politics or culture.

#4 #2 - what is the actual paid circulation of your paper not counting bundles dropped off at hotels, dormitories, libraries and 'friends outside the borough'?

#5 I pegged them as a snob newspaper at age 12 - fuck them and Duranty's Pulitzer.

#6 Yup. Maybe browsed two publications in my lifetime. From what I understand, the hook is how quickly one can do the crossword, and that translates into how well one understands the articles, or something. Dunno. Guess Glen Beck would tell me to go to Target and pick up some board game for the holidays.
