Now, that is a novel argument. “We’re a business, but we’re choosing not to make money.” Good luck finding enough altruistic investors to keep the stock price up. I’ll remember the “public trust” line the next time a business chooses to ignore the bottom line.

I have subscribed, and then cancelled our subscription, recently. The Times does do in depth reporting well. Unfortunately, it’s more and more frequently found in the pieces covering the lifestyles of the urban wealthy.

I read daily. I have fond memories of the New York Times of 25 years ago. Nowadays, however, the bias is all too obvious. The Book Review really hasn’t been helpful at all in deciding which new books are interesting. The Wall Street Journal’s book reviews are much more useful. The reason the Journal can keep so much of its content behind a wall is, its content is more than worth the money. The New York Times’ content isn’t.
