#1 The NYT paid 1.1 billion for the Boston Globe back in 1993, then disposed of that investment for about the value of the land at 135 Morrisey Boulevard just a few short years ago, and that land went for $70 million when John Henry (owner of the Red Sox & Liverpool FC) bought the Globe some years earlier.

REMAINDER
Every time any of us quote, click-on or point to a NYT article absurdity, we are promoting their readership, viewership and AD Click revenues.

#4 If I happen to see a NYT article or headline, my reaction is "So this is what the regime wants me to think." And I used to really enjoy reading the dead tree NYT Sunday edition.
