#1 The Norma Desmond of print.

Yes, this is 620 Eighth Avenue New York city, New York. It's about 5 0'clock in the morning. That's the bankruptcy team, complete with auditors and the local television crews.

#2 The Norma Desmond of print

Good one P2K. "I am big; it's my circulation that has gotten small."

Or to add a Spinal Tap twist: "My circulation has gotten more selective "

#3 After watching elements of our very own "pravda" press dragging the One over the finish line by studiously refusing to examine his record of experience, his gossamer-thin resume and his many shady friends, I am coldly angry. They foisted this narcissistic empty suit on us, they gloried in how progressive they were, they all but administered a public cavity search to Sarah Palin ... and now they deserve to go down in flames and ignominy. All of them - not just the NY Times and other rags like them; the husks of Time and Newsweek, and freak shows like CNN.
Every one of them, shuttered and bankrupt, for their part in the travesty of the 2008 Presidential campaign. You failed in your duty to inform impartially, and for that omission of duty, you will go down. Permanently. Your hacks will be lucky not to have street filth thrown at them.

#4 The Democrats in Congress and George Soros and his friends will never let the Times die. Believe me, it will continue to provide an echo chamber for the narcissism of Obama, Pelosi and (I would say Reid but I believe he is toast) the other of the same ilk.
