1 "Assets" have to have value. Selling the NYT doesn't qualify

2 Pinchy going down in flames is a nice plus for an otherwise soon-to-be craptacular 2009.

3 Its either that or having to give it to Vicky Iseman.

4 Their business model seems to qualify them for a ginormous bailout , all things being equal and stuff .

5 Ok, youse guys, let's us buy the paper!  I figger it'll cost about a buck-ninety ($1.90) by January 12.  Who's with me?  'Cause it would make my cold dark heart race with joy to fire Pinch what-are-your-SATs? Sulzberger.

6 I only read the Times for the funny pages.

7 Time for a real job Schmaltzfucker.

Proves again that a Liberal Captain can sink any ship at all.  What's next?  Makes one wonder about when Obama, Barney Frank & crewe take the helm.  Me, I'm fasting until they wise up ... perhaps I'll become a martyr.

9 These assholes never did deserve a piece of the Red Sox. 

10 First the Sox, then the Globe. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

11 HA....$75,000,000 in 2002, if they get half that they'll be lucky.   I read a good article a few days ago on how the families with a controlling share are ignoring their impending doom because they keep getting whopping dividends every year (something like $25 million) and are fat, dumb and happy as long that continues. 

The problem is that the Times organization can't continue to do so much longer, and once the fat dividends end there WILL be a rebellion amongst the families.  Maybe at that point whomever is the captain of the ship will actually run it to be profitable rather than a news-gateway for liberals. 

12 Actually, they cut the dividend last month to six cents from 23 cents per share. No revolt from the kids yet.

13 I can haz brainz?

You only read the editorials, Dennis?

This is perhaps related to the thread topic by maybe a 1% relationship, but I don't know where else to post this...

The fanblog "Was Watching" (put up by Yankees fan Steve Lombardi) has been hacked by Islamic hackers.

It's hardly a political site, so I have no idea why they did this, but there it is.

Just Google "Was Watching", and the 1st two links lead to the site (and no, I don't know Steve, and I'm not trolling for hits).

The 2nd link gives you one example post called "No Pressure, Joba, Really". If you want to see the hacking, click the "Home" link on that page, or just go to the 1st Google link.

Maybe they just hate the Yankees as well as the Israelis.

I dunno.

16 Pinch find a job?  A "real" job for the 1st time in his silver-spoon life?  Hahahahaha!!

17 Nothing like selling everything in a down market.  THAT is the essence of sound management!

First, degrade the asset, then impair it with a screwy preferred shareholder structure and finally, have the fire sale.  I tried and tried over the years to read that POS, but just couldn't bring myself to do it.  So it went straight to the puppy's housetraining efforts.  He couldn't read it, either.

18 Since Gabriel is our resident lawyer-moron, could he gives us the possibility of Vicky Iseman enjoining the sale of the BoSox until her suit is settled?

19 Sort of odd, anyway, for the NYT to have been promoting the Boston Red Socks as an investment instead of a NYC team.

20 The NYT sees itself as cosmopolitan - the idea of boosting New York, especially for something as blue collar as a sports team, would be beneath them.

Within New York City itself, both the New York Post and NY Daily News actually have a larger circulation than the NY Times.

Once they shutter The Grey Lady, I hear Hamas is offering to put em' up rent free. Unfortunately thanks to the Joo's it'll have to be in a camel stable for right now.

22 And Happy New Year, fellow Morons!

23 The NYT will soon be including a share of stock with the weekend edition, " I love to tear it apart and ...", after that stunt I 'm not sure where they will go but perhaps a free subscription with porno links is next, and aliens on the cover..

24 Ace, Ace, Ace; C'mon now, they're just focusing on  their core competencies.

Unfortunately for them, the core competency of being a left-wing propaganda rag is not a money-making proposition.

25 Now this is the way to end a year!

26

O/T, sorry...

Congrats, Ace, on making Finalist for Best Conservative Blog at 2008 Weblog Awards!!

H/T:  The Corner

28 Because of the Times's feudal-era ownership structure, the only opinions that matter are those of Pinch and his Lovecraftian family.  They're perfectly content to loot the corporation and print their own opinions as news.  The ordinary common stockholders can go fuck themselves as far as the Sulzberger/Ochs family are concerned.

29 May they all rot in hell.  The MSM elected Obama because of people too stupid to make up their own mind.  I would love to see the whole thing closed down and believe I will see that in my lifetime!

I'd love to have enough surplus cash laying around to be able to buy the NYT, and close the damn thing. 

The last issue ever would be a multiple-pages apology to the American people for all the anti-American crap the NYT has printed over the years.  That would be certain to cause more than a few moonbat heads to explode.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Connecticut lawmaker Frank Nicastro sees saving the local newspaper as his duty. But others think he and his colleagues are setting a worrisome precedent for government involvement in the U.S. press.

Nicastro represents Connecticut's 79th assembly district, which includes Bristol, a city of about 61,000 people outside Hartford, the state capital. Its paper, The Bristol Press, may fold within days, along with The Herald in nearby New Britain.

That is because publisher Journal Register, in danger of being crushed under hundreds of millions of dollars of debt, says it cannot afford to keep them open anymore.

Nicastro and fellow legislators want the papers to survive, and petitioned the state government to do something about it. "The media is a vitally important part of America," he said, particularly local papers that cover news ignored by big papers and television and radio stations.

Many media experts predict that 2009 will be the year that newspapers of all sizes will falter and die, a threat long predicted but rarely taken seriously until the credit crunch blossomed into a full-fledged financial meltdown.

Hatred of the Yankees transcends religious differences.  And rightly so.

33 I hope Santa left an Obama dope-on-a-rope in Pinch's stocking this year-- he'll need it for flop sweat.

"...could he gives us the possibility of Vicky Iseman enjoining the sale of the BoSox until her suit is settled?"

You'd need a pre-judgment writ of attachment, which is extremely hard to get.  No way would a court grant one in this case.

35 Aww, the NYT is sinking fast, and from all angles. I think i'm gonna cry...from laughter! The bloodletting won't stop until that piece of shit is out of business. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving newspaper. This calls for a round of drinks! No need for narccist elect to bail them out, there are still plenty of propaganda media to cover and whitewash without them

36 "Why, when I was a kid we used to have all of our info, printed, and thrown on your doorstep......want ads, cartoons, and left-wing tripe, what ever you needed, all rolled up for you to read"..."Boys were the primary source of final delivery...hence the term paperboy". ..."What the fuck are you little punks laughing at???,,,no, this wasn't around the time when it was fashionable to tie an Onion on your belt and walk over to Shelbyville..."

37

sorry to go off topic, but how 'bout a Gaza thread?

i'm hoping the current Isreali Administration has the stones to really do something this time... i recommend bulldozing the entire population of Gaza into the sea.... is that too harsh?

38 "Yeah kids, real fucking Newspapers.....and yes we used to print the whole phonebook out too"!!!...What are you litlle fucking punks laughing at?"..."Yes, it was paper and ink, you rotten little bastatrds".

39

I suspect that Pinch's idea is to ditch valuable assets to pay debt and then go private.  The company has a lot of assets off the book and written off.  Going private really only fucks the stupid assholes who bought their stock.  The more Pitch and company can run down the obvious assets, the less they will have to pay to buy out everyone else.

Bernie Madoff, or Pinch, same tribe.

What is important to these cocksuckers is keeping the ability to brainwash people...

They give away a shit load of papers to little interlligent soft minds in Universities from coast to coast in the hopes of keeping their brand of asshole fuckhead ignorant liberalism alive.

They will keep giving stacks of that free shit away in defiance of reality as long as they can.

After all, modern liberalism is defined by a repelling of reality and the wheezily fanning of the flames of the big Lie.

Got to keep the kids thinking they are very smart, so so so smart.

41 Inch by inch, one tiny amputation at a time... Heightens the pleasure, don't you think, Clarice?

42 Tears. I want bitch tears from "El Pinche' ", before this is over!

43 That would be an interesting settlement offer from Ms Iseman's attorney - "$27M or you can just give us the paper."

I don't think any Sulzbugger actually HAS to work for a living.  It's a vanity project at this point, kinda like Ted Turner raising beefalo or whatever he does these days.

44 "The more Pitch and company can run down the obvious assets, the less they will have to pay to buy out everyone else." Yep, sounds about right. NYTimes becomes the world's biggest blog.

45 my momma had a saying about people like him....

46 Yes, shoey, that is too harsh.  A steamroller would be much more humane.  And don't forget to file all the appropriate environmental impact statements.

Happy New Year fellow morons!

50 I would greatly appreciate a blog that maintained a list of key advertisers for MSM, a nice RSS feed to my cell phone to help me when shopping.  I just don't have the time.

51 Can we focus on the real news - Will any of this stop him from fucking Caroline Kennedy?

52 Scary thought....What will happen if they are not left to die a natural death?...I mean bailout, Soros buyout etc....

53 I'm sitting here, at midnight, it's January 1st, and I'm just wondering if this little tidbit means my hometown paper,a rag bought by the NYT about the late 70's or so, will be sold or just go out of business. Or will it spin off and slowly die a lingering death?
Since they, the paper,hate everything good in my town, most locals, myself included, hate them and the fact that 'our local paper' only seem to endorse the freakish shit that oozes in from places like Charlotte and Atlanta and Asheville,NC, known locally as Assville for its kinship to SF, Hanoi on the Bay. But  will they simply cease to exist? Dare I hope? I'd love to see a more balanced, locally grown conservative paper sprout up in the place of this miserable scandal sheet/litter-pan liner.
God, I hate my local paper and the entire NYT syndicate. Seriously.

56 The New York Times owns part of the Boston Red Sox and no one in NY has had a problem with this?

I couldn't see the Washington Post owning part of the Dallas Cowboys without catching a lot of hell in DC.
