I cannot; meanwhile the Gray Lady is broadening her horizons. I doubt there will be any outcry in the US, unlike the howling that would arise in Canada in the case of such an import.

Who knows? Maybe Thompson will carry out radical changes, like having The Times start reporting the news or bringing in some economists instead of that Krugman hack.
Pinch Sulzberg is nuts if he thinks a guy who worked for a government-funded entity is going to help them grow their business and become profitable. But it is very post-American of him, which will no doubt be seen as a good thing.

Pinch Sulzberger is dreaming if he thinks a BBC guy knows anything about growing a business or helping it become profitable. But it is very post-American of him, which will no doubt be seen as a good thing.
Sorry about the quadruplicate post, guys. Oops, I’m almost out of beer. Gotta go…
Finally, a Muslim sensitive dhimmie to lead them to Allah.
“. . . they are both considered preeminent news organizations. . .”
By whom?
Quicker, harder and stronger, Kate will be able to post the “Deep Impact” headline soon.
If any idiot really believes that the head of the (Biased)BBC heading up the NYT is any type of panacea for that miserable pathetic rag, they have obviously not had to endure the torture of having to live under the dictate of the BBBC, if you needed to sum up everything, and I mean everything that has gone wrong in Europe and especially in the UK you need look no further than the bastion of lie-bral socialist fascism that is embodied in the very core and every last grain of the BBC.
There are no redeeming factors.
NYT and Thompson, together like bread and jam. How much deeper can the fund go before its bust ? It can’t be far now..
Waiting for Kates headline.
That Americans have less of an issue hiring a foreigner than Canadians would is an example of why we underperform.
Wow … a BBC guy who did not go to the Islamic News Network …. Or did he?
Wasn’t that Piers Morgan pommie supposed to save CNN? How’s that working out? Isn’t this just a repeat of that? Just asking.
Can you imagine the Hope and Flail hiring anyone not infected with Toronto disease?
I am still waiting for Stephen Harper to appoint Conrad Black as head of the CBC. Hows that for a foreigner?
Scar …. Evil ….Evil …. Evil …. and clever.
Scar …. can we suggest it?
The Pulitzer given to the NYT’s Duranty for whitewashing Stalins crimes has not been returned on principle. Not yet. But when the NYT goes belly up, who’ll care but historians?
Conrad Black running the CBC may be the only thing that does save it.
“Scar …. can we suggest it?”
Go for it. Black is unemployed and would no doubt be flattered. He might actually save the CBC.
Personally just for kicks, I would love to see what Mark Steyn would do as head of the CBC.
Hey, Rev, that is a great idea.
have the CPC had any input into who’s running the ceebs? or is it more of an hands off/we didn’t do it thing?
i just wish Lowes would buy Rona and sell the Quebec bit to the Caisse.
Bob Card’s got a challenge at SNC, w/o learning francaise. don’t listen to that Marois wacko.
Actually, some of us at PostMedia were hoping that Conrad would come back and run US again, not the ZBZ.
Okay, okay — so actually it’s just me who’s hoping for the return of Lord Tubby. But he’d probably save my job from the bozos running us into the ground right now.
Canadian knee-jerk hate for Americans is based on a realistic, self identified inferior “little brother” status. This means that the answer will always be absolutely no, never!
The very worst part for Canadians is that … no Americans give a damn.
owl, PostMedia might do little better if it was not moving to the left.
DSV @ 6:03 – well said.
Scar @ 8:42 – I’ll second your nomination.
Totally off-topic:
Would it be reasonable to ask the authors of the blogging software to put in the ability to eliminate multiple identical posts? It doesn’t seem that difficult…
“Thompson, who was the BBC’s director general”
Why ee’ll jus raise taxes on the ol tele and is right as rain, inet?
Not a tip as much an an expression of total bewilderment (on Drudge yesterday and today).
Sarah Palin has suggested the Dems drop the buffoon Biden in favour or Hillary.
W H Y!?
W H Y is she making suggestions that might help the Communist Party gain a second term!?
And I see election-throwing-Obama-is-a-really-nice-family-man McCain is doing the same.
Neither person is cynical enough to make a suggestion designed to worsen the Dem’s chances, so clearly they’re helping the enemy.
Are they thinking that if we lose, better to lose to an Obama-Clinton team than an Obama-Biden team!!??
NUTS. Hillary-it-takes-a-village-and-we’ll-just-take-big-oil’s-profits Clinton is every bit as bad as Obama.
She’s a marxist too, only perhaps a bit more nuanced.
Thanks EBD for your forbearance!
I gotta say it:
All my adult life I’ve excoriated pacifists.
NOW, looking at fascist Europe, fascist EU, fascist America (Hamilton’s curse) I find myself gravitating toward the view of that great political philosopher, Elaine, who famously said:
WAR, WHAT’S IT GOOD FOR (Tolstoy’s preliminary title for War and Peace).
Seriously.
My anarcho-capitalist hero Rothbard somewhere opined that it might be better to just be conquered by an enemy and then destroy them through insurgency [See: A’stan, Iraq] for the route to self destruction is militarily OCCUPYING another nation.

English Canada was founded by the best of American Conservatives exiled and financially destroyed by that first band of American progressives, the rebels of the revolution. We have had to dissuade you on occasion when your progressive dreams got out of hand. We are marking one of those occasions this year. We don’t consider you our protectors and we do not hate you. We just remain warily cautious of your fractious society.
The ACTUAL paper of record, The Wall Street Journal, is held by an Aussie who became an American citizen so he could expand his news empire to television in the U. S. His current wife is a Chinese National. Whisky.Tango.Foxtrot. After acquiring The Journal, he brought in an Australian as Managing Editor. Now, I much prefer Aussies to Brits and probably to Canadians as well. In this case, few changes they have made to The Journal have been for the good. The Opinion section has been the most negatively impacted losing the ability to deliver compelling content wrapped in elegant verbiage as was the case just a few short years ago. The WSJ is still my only source for news outside of conservative blogs, but the Aussies are slowly morphing it into USA Today. While the country does not need two sub-par national dailies, there is a critical need for a reliable, conservative daily.
KBird, my Father and I occasionally acknowledge that if we had been American colonials during our Revolutionary period, we would have either beat a fast path due north or boarded the first boat back to England. Having said that, the commenter doth protest too much, methinks. From a citing perspective, would you swap the U. S. for Venezuela? Argentina? Mexico? China? A middle eastern country besides Israel? Any European country? Think it through.
Wasn’t an Englishman named Phillip Crawley in charge of the Globe for a while? I have a fond memory of a period a decade or so ago when both the Globe and the Post were being edited by Englishmen. I got the impression that there was a deliberate game going on at both papers to see what they could run by these guys without them noticing anything odd. I used to keep a file of such things. The only one I can recall offhand was a road accident in New Brunswick that required the highway to be closed for most of the day to clean it up. This was given the sensational headline “TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY CLOSED!” I could just imagine some poor Englishman going, “Wow, that sure looks important, let’s go with it”, while the newsroom cracked up behind his back.
