Video: Why do some want to see the NY Times fail?

Do too many people want to see the NY Times fail? I think so and I want it to stop.

Uh boy. NYTimes is so biased and agenda driven. In my opinion there is no difference
between their editorial pages and news stories. They have a serious case of East-Coast
liberal group-think and deserve to go the way of the dinosaurs. Good riddance.

Well said. IMO reading the NYT is a waste of time, because I've always felt it necessary to verify everything they print. (Even before I learned of Jason Blair.) Why?

Because, again IMO, they seldom tell the whole story due to their built in bias.

In today's world we find many choices on where to get news, commentary and advertisements from. While the NY Times has some fine reporters and staff, they must now compete in a market that is flooded with instant information. In the age of the Internet it is only a matter of time before print newspapers will no longer be in business unless the business can change and reinvent itself and offer something to the public that is not available on the Internet. If the business is unable to do so then they will go to the wayside (or maybe they will be in line for bailout money.)

For you comments about the bloggers on the Internet beating up on the NY Times I think you should applaud such an action because it is the same action that lets you speak: The 1st Ammendment.

What an ass! The NYT is barely more than a biased mouthpiece for the extreme liberal agenda. The sickos that work there can move to Cuba, a place that probably more closely fits their politics (until they realize how crappy those systems of government really are).

Anti-intellectualism is wide spread in America. The Times represents all that the uneducated lower classes fear. No matter, even if they Grey Lady fails, they (the working class) are irrelevant in a post industrial, globalized digital economy. And that is as it should be.

NYT needs to find BALANCE. They are extremely biased and companies don't want to advertise in a paper that is so out of step with the vast majority of the public. A lot of newspapers are like this and have found their ad revenue drop... perhaps it because of their anti-business socialist editorials? can't see why a business wouldn't want to advertise with them...
