<br />
Here's a hint for the NYT and Seattle Times: The tongue-flapping, bug-eyed, far-right psychos they've been desperately trying to lure in read the Bible not the news.<br />
<br />
<br />
Antagonizing the people who actually want to read their papers might not be such a hawt idea. Duh.<br />

Please tell me The Washington Post is next.

Seriously, the rapid death of newspapers is testament to the power of talk radio.  That's where right thinking people get their news!

      <![CDATA[No sympathy in the slightest.  It's a pity that it's down to gross financial incompetence rather than, say, having Judith Miller and the entire circa-2002 editorial staff shot for treason, but schadenfreude is not an exact science and I'll take what I can get.  Good bye and good riddance to the "liberal" (dry laughter) New York Times: hope you enjoy being owned by Rupert Murdoch, you murdering douchebags.
