Just like Air America, the liberal NY Times can't not make it in the real world with its made up news stories.

Rest in Peace.



NYT Co. 1Q losses worsen as ad sales plunge 27 pct

The New York Times Co. fell into a deeper financial hole during the first quarter as the newspaper publisher's advertising revenue plunged 27 percent in an industrywide slump that is reshaping the print media. Its shares dived after the results were released Tuesday.

The owner of The New York Times, The Boston Globe, the International Herald Tribune and 15 other daily newspapers lost $74.5 million, or 52 cents per share, in the opening three months of the year. That compared with a loss of $335,000 at the same time last year, which was break-even on a per-share basis.

The results in the most recent quarter included charges totaling 18 cents per share to cover the costs of jettisoning employees and other one-time accounting measures.

Even with those charges stripped out, the loss was much worse than analysts expected. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had predicted the New York-based company would lose 4 cents per share.

Revenue for the period dropped 19 percent to $609 million -- about $22 million below the average analyst estimate.

I'm broken hearted about this! Frankly I found the Times to be a source of great entertainment.

The liberal Atlanta paper is near death as well. Reasonably intelligent folks just don't buy BS. And the poor Atlanta democratic blacks can't read anyway. How will the repressive manipulative left ever survive when they totally lose their base of IDIOTS? Oh my!

Don't worry. There's a plan afoot by the current administration, and libs in Congress, to make liberal news outlets (read: large city newspapers) non-profit and tax exempt.

As long as they remain liberal news outlets.
