24 Replies to “The Failing New York Times”

  1. I remember when the Sunday edition was about 6 inches thick and weighed about five pounds and the sections had to be tied together.

  2. No doubt. The sooner this Stalinist bird cage liner is gone, the better.

  3. Sooo? How many New York minutes have Y’all wasted reading the multitude of Special Offer advertisements which are now pushed onto your email “in-box” by the Failing N. Y. Slime; whoops my finger slipped by the truth Just in thinking as the N.Y. Times.

  4. The only reason I still look at the NYT’s website is its science and technology news. However, thanks to the Internet, most of what I read there I likely already heard about.
    It’s simply a case of self-inflicted obsolescence.
    old white guy: yup–the Sunday edition was a real door-stop, wasn’t it?

  5. It has become apparent to me that the NYT’s has been using unpaid College student Interns to write all their editorials for quite some time. The FREE services are the only thing that’s been keeping the paper afloat. No wonder their content keeps getting more and more unhinged and divorced from reality.

  6. What ever will become of their crossword puzzles. It is about the only reason I would ever look at their paper. However their feed comes to my facebook page and lately their editorial stance is loonier than Alex Jones.

  7. I am old enough to remember when the GOP President understood what a danger Russia & the previous incarnation was the “evil empire” and not a country to praise. Russian ex-KGB presidents are not nice warm and fuzzy people worthy of praise and have only goals of destabilizing/destroying the west and recreating some mythical empire of the 1800’s.
    So what has happened to the GOP? — they used to understand that.

  8. I am old enough to remember that the Cold War ended in 1991. Islamic terror is the biggest threat the world faces and Russia is a good friend to have in that war. I suspect the only reason Russia maintains tension with the West is to maintain Putin’s popularity at home. Since the US seems to involve itself in so many foreign elections, why is it so surprising that somebody screws with their heads. What is the bigger danger to democracy – the Democrats defrauding Bernie Sanders of the nomination or the Russians possibly revealing the fact?

  9. I am also old enough to see many European terrorist organizations & the PLO collapse after the USSR collapse — ever wonder who was funding them? It was USSR and now Russia & Putin. ISIS came out of nowhere in 2014 just as Putin was making moves to seize Crimea, Eastern Ukraine and failed in SE & Central Ukraine as Ukraine quickly picked up how the plan was working and was able to stop it dead in it’s tracks.
    Russia is training similar forces in the Balkans and Central-Eastern Europe. It has actively attacked the election systems in Britain. Netherlands, Hungary, Czech Republic, France, Italy, USA and even Canada to start — others it has happened. Only the USA sticks its head in the sand and ignores it’s own intel agencies and labels them “Deep State”.
    Did you ever wonder why ISIS was so well organized? — many of it’s leaders were trained in oh my Moscow. They understood logistics, weaponry and military strategy & tactics — that is not a skill learned in a small village. In 2014 & 2015 many of the weaponry flights that supplied ISIS came from Russia, qu’el surprise. Take care of the source and the underlying problems go away.
    Follow the money. let the Intel Agencies, Treasury & FBI loose. Problem is they are not because the so-called GOP President works for the wrong team, the Russians.
    Follow the money and you will see.

  10. If Trump works for the Russians, why have the FBI, CIA, and NSA discovered nothing in over a year but you have. Sell your bullshit somewhere else.

  11. yah dumbo, you are either stupid, or fvcking stupid. Those Russian weapons came from Lybia via the hitlery sate dept. Obungles and the brits supplied a lot of Toyota pickups to ISIS, and obungles refused to bomb their “oil” convoys to turkey, assad, and iran, all of whom were fighting against them. But all that was planned and executed by the Russians. Maybe you suffer from too much vodka intake?

  12. It is coming — as most of it is classified is not in the public domain. Also NY state Attorney General is running a RICO case on Trump Organization money laundering of Russian mob money. Trump will die poor and in disgrace and in prison.
    Your ignorance of counter intelligence operations is astounding — very often takes years to build a case that can be run thru normal court systems.
    I would suggest you read Dr. John Schindler @20committee and his articles in the NY Observer which is owned by Kushner. You may learn a few things about the Intel Community.
    Also when one is taking down a president who has sold out the nation, one has to make sure the shot is clean and a kill shot because there are no second chances. The case has to be rock solid and beyond a shadow of a doubt.

  13. WOW — there are russian trolls on here — i always suspected it.
    Russian aircraft were intercepted by the IRaqis in 2014 going to airfields controlled by ISIS — some upper leadership of ISIS were identified as receiving training from Moscow
    BTW where are Russian special forces now located? in Western Egypt in support of ISIS forces in Libya
    Grow up
    Russian aircraft never bombed ISIS — they only went after SDF and other anti-assad groups — ISIS is in cahoots with Assad.
    Do some book learning — you may also want to study bellingcat.com and their work at quantifying the Russian & Assad war crimes — also good at quantifying Russia’s involvement in shooting down MH-17 and Russias direct involvement in invading Eastern Ukraine — not civil war — it was an invasion at first small GRU units, then russian “volunteers” via russian military funded groups a la blackwater, and in the end direct military intervention with Russian VDV & Special forces units.
    Continue to dig your head in the soil and tell Vlad I tell him “F U ” 🙂

  15. “ISIS is in cahoots with Assad”
    Sure that’s believable – a secular Shiite president of Syria is on the side of ISIS who is trying their damnedest to destroy Shi’ism.

  16. On the bright side there are now coal mining jobs for these former reporters to move to. Thanks, Trump!

  17. Baseless paranoid allegations….. is that all you got?? I mean do you have any hard facts to go with them?
    You hold a baseless hatred for Trump as do all progressive lefties. You think NY Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman is doing a fine job as do all progressive lefties. You believe Russia is the ultimate source of all the evil in the world and that but for them Hillary would be President.
    Your politics are clear. You’re not going to find much support for your delusions here. Daily Kos is your natural home. There you will find the warmth of agreement. Here, only derision and contempt.
    You need to step away from the internet for a while. Your grip on reality is tenuous.
