#3 "People don't click onto the New York Times to read blogs. They want reliable news that they can trust," he says.

ROFLMAO! Good one, Pinch.

For the record, I dropped my subscriptions to the Boston Glob and Worcester T&G because they are owned by the NYT. Before they were bought by the NYT I was willing to put up with the BS reporting for the grocery coupons in the Sunday paper.

#7 imo, The potential for good 'Internet News' seems to me to hide bound by its former print incarnations.

That said, its mischief, and potential for agit-prop is also untapped too.

Iraq, early Dec. 2006.

NYT correspondent C.J. Chivers, [Marine captain who saw action in the Persian Gulf War]

I like this particular format and the reporter, a photo essay with a narrative by Chris Chivers.

Click on "SNIPERI" first:

new NYT format

Makes any patriot proud as hell eh.. WE have the very best!

*******

The editors for the NYT use remarkable photographs, paired up to a great story-teller reporter who has loads of integrity, and yet still subvert on a regular basis the message inspite of the good material thru a selection process and other means to produce an eventual product with a slant or an agenda.

The NYT has a clear record of its disporportional and slanted Iraq news coverage.

They've run very few successful Mil Ops, and when they have they've riddled them with shit-ass caveats. The NYTs has chosen to hide the thousands of completed infrastructure projects in Iraq. They've chosen to ignore thousands of good stories of Americans helping Iraqi citizens, etc. etc.

#8 No, Sulzberger says. If you want to read the New York Times online, you will have to pay.

Then I guess you're still fucked, Pinchy...

#10 I'd be curious to know the ranking of news sources linked to by the Burg and other news blogs. I'd guess the NYT is well down the list.

#11 Pinchy goes to a Gypsy who looks up his future in a crystal ball.

"I see numbers, big numbers. I see numbers, big numbers, getting smaller in value. I see numbers winding around a great vortex, going down, down, down. I feel a great tug. Oh MY GOD!!! I am going down into the vortex of numbers, its carrying me down down down. I'm spinning, faster, faster! Numbers everywhere!!!!! I shoot through the bottom of the vortex. I slow down. I see no more numbers. I see marble columns, I see a room with tall doors, benches, tables. I see two numbers only floating in the room, fuzzy. One is.............ah...........an 11, I think, and the other one is a 7. Now the picture is getting fuzzy....and now it is dark. That is all.

$50 please.
