| #4 I thinhk Sea has figgered it out: LetÂ’s put this in context: Ms. Weymouth is confronted with the same crisis as every publisher in the country. The Web has robbed newspapers of paying readers and advertisers, the economic downturn is cutting into what is left, and smaller, nimbler Internet competitors are learning to slake the 24-hour news thirst on their own. (The fact that it was Politico that broke this story only added to the sting. Started by two former Post reporters, Politico has become a serious competitor right on The PostÂ’s inside-the-Beltway turf, and now has caught the paper on a fundamental lapse in the wall between church and state. In the increasingly heated race between the mainstream media and newer, digitally enabled ones, much of the remaining competitive edge for legacy media derives from a perception that they adhere to more rigorous publishing standards. Oops.) Oops, is right, NYT. But somehow, you seem to think you're still above it all, instead at the bottom of the pile of slime. |

| #1 My interpretation? Like a matriarch of a once-great family fallen on hard times who quietly begins to sell the heirloom jewels. Then even more quietly, the daughters. Sadly, word always leaks out. |
