    Arrow *New York Slimes/Times: Tanking, Hehehehe,.....*

    Sorry bout that,

    1. Well well well, looks like the bird cage paper is tanking.
    2. They have to fire over 100, and stock prices have dropped from over 50.00 to less than 20.00.
    3. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    "

    The Times Company stock, which topped $52 in mid-2002, sank below $15 in January. The interest of the hedge funds has generated a slight rebound. Shares closed at $18.84 Thursday, partly in response to news of the probable layoffs.

    MEDIA FIREWORKS: MCCAIN PLEADS WITH NY TIMES TO SPIKE STORY
    Thu Dec 20 2007 10:49:27 ET

    Just weeks away from a possible surprise victory in the primaries, Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz has been waging a ferocious behind the scenes battle with the NEW YORK TIMES, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, and has hired DC power lawyer Bob Bennett to mount a bold defense against charges of giving special treatment to a lobbyist!

    McCain has personally pleaded with NY TIMES editor Bill Keller not to publish the high-impact report involving key telecom legislation before the Senate Commerce Committee, newsroom insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

    The paper's Jim Rutenberg has been leading the investigation and is described as beyond frustrated with McCain's aggressive and angry efforts to stop any and all publication.

    The drama involves a woman lobbyist who may have helped to write key telecom legislation. The woman in question has retained counsel and strongly denies receiving any special treatment from McCain.

    Would be nice to see the times go out of business. They'll be joining air America in bankruptcy soon.
    When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    Since the DNC Times likes to publish classified information on US national security, perhaps the DNC Times can offer bulk subscriptions to terrorist training camps so the terrorists can make sure their terrorist safe house wil remain safe

    For years the NY Times has been trying to attract conservatives by adopting a conservative bias. Now it's having an effect. Liberals are leaving and most conservatives can't read so the paper is facing hard times.

    Here is something you probably believe Joe

    Behar Wonders: 'Right Wing' Planted McCain Story?
    By Justin McCarthy | February 21, 2008 - 11:30 ET

    Discussing the recent New York Times smear of John McCain and alleged inappropriate relationship with lobbyist Vicki Iseman, "View" co-host Joy Behar, who floated conspiracy theories in the past, floated another one today.

    "Is there any possibility that- I'm just throwing this out, and Bill O'Reilly will call me a 'pinhead' for this. But is there any possibility that the right wing of the party, the real conservative Limbaugh, Huckabee, that group, planted this article? Like they're behind it? Because they're too trying to cut his legs off."

    Audio available here.

    The show led off with The New York Times story. Joy Behar, to her credit, did express some skepticism of the report believing Iseman “has an ax to grind.” Elisabeth Hasselbeck attacked the Times’ liberal bias adding that this is a “smear campaign.” Barbara Walters stepped in to defend the Times adding the delayed release maybe because “ they had to get all of their facts together” and she was “not sure that it was a malicious attempt on The New York Times to do it right now.” Hasselbeck added that she did indeed feel it was a malicious attempt.

    for the complete article and to watch the video

    I don't know if anyone "planted" the story. I do know Drudge reported on it and the NY Times is said to have printed it now because The New Republic was going to make an issue of it. Both of those are conservative outlets, Drudge more than the The New Republic.

    Who knows. Maybe the Times was just trying to get back to reporting the news rather than pandering. McCain is owned by lobbyists and maybe the Times just saw a good story.

    Proof? Newspapers don't have to prove anything. Newspapers are supposed to report facts their readers would like have. The Times did and now the world knows more about McCain's willingness to trade political influence for whatever has value.

    The DNC Times ran a story using 2 unamed sources who think something was between McCain and the girl

    They do not have to have anyt proof before they run it? There were NO FACTS in the story Joe - not a sigle one

    I remember how the DNC TImes ignored a story about a another Presidential candidate who did cheat on his wife - and was accused of rape by another

    But being a liberal Dem, the DNC Times did not bother running either story

    The story had plenty of facts. I didn't know about Iseman or McCain's relationships with lobbyists before I read the story. Secondly, anonymous reporting is the way political coverage works. Without it we would know far less about how our government works. The burden is on the reader to evaluate the story. Don't take everything at face value. Read and research. I did and I found out a lot.

    Try naming some of those facts Joe

    BTW, where is the DNC TImes on this story?


    Hazards of Borrowing Private Jets
    Wednesday, February 20, 2008

    By John Gibson

    You may have noticed the biggest and best perk for any aspiring movie star, rock mogul or corporate big shot is moving from flying commercial to flying private.

    As Barack Obama said in one of his books private jet travel is great. It's so convenient. It's so, well, private — nobody but you and your friends on the plane. It goes when you're ready to go.

    But it takes a lot of money to have a private jet, even a small one, and even part time. Way, way more than a first-class ticket flying commercial.

    Even a guy like Bill Clinton — who has made millions giving speeches since he left office — still can't afford his own private jet.

    So Bubba has been flying OPJ — Other People's Jets.

    In fact, Bill Clinton has gotten himself hooked up with a Canadian mining mogul named Frank Giustra evidently because Giustra has a big private jet. And he seems to let Bubba use it about anytime he wants for anything he wants.

    The former president flies to paid speeches on it, he flies to fund-raise for Hillary and he flies to raise millions for the Clinton Foundation.

    Giustra is such a generous guy with his private jet. It costs thousands and thousands per hour to operate. But Giustra evidently says, hey, who's counting?

    Giustra was trying to move along a half-billion dollar deal with Kazakhstan to mine uranium fields in that country.

    His new best friend, Bill Clinton, the same one who uses his jet all the time, just happened to know the president of Kazakhstan so they flew off to Almaty, Kazakhstan’s largest city, and they had dinner with president Nazarbayev, who is reputed to be one of the most corrupt leaders of a country in the world.

    Giustra's half-billion dollar deal came though and Clinton got a half-million dollar check from Nazarbayev for his Clinton Foundation. God only knows what the president of Kazakhstan got.

    It's nice to know people with private jets, isn't it? Nicer still to know a former president of the United States who likes private jets.
