Maybe Aljazeera would be interested.

Not a dry eye in the room. /s

I think that the word I´m looking for is "Hallelujah"!

I totally agree with the OP. 0bama is the ultimate prez dispenser.

Dismantling the Old Gray Lady?

Such a shame.

Only about a hundred years too late

inquiring minds want to know .... Carlos Slim ...was this a true ´financial´ investment?

Same to you Warren Buffett ...did you become a Graham family backer for the ´news coverage/networking´ versus a real investment?

Thought so .... the risk/rewards criteria looked obviously skewed for any true investment ...

No liberals will be affected.

The poor slops in the press room are toast, though.

"Expectedly."

Good. They deserve it. .

"“Isn’t fat usually at top and middle?” one newspaper industry veteran said."

Same is true at the White House that the Times is so willing to worship under an Obama or Clinton and to vilify if Bush or Reagan.

They need to clean out the refuse in the editorial room.

I normally don´t relish other people´s miseries, but in THIS case...

The NYT and other liberal publications and their editors/reporters have done horrible damage to many businesses. They have caused countless job losses and economic damage. They destroyed hundreds of thousands of lives--and they did it knowingly, willingly and with glee.

So, to the NYT staff, what comes around goes around. You got what you deserved.

The opening paragraph suggests that the layoff were due to the financial straits of industry. Not so, its due to terrible returns of the investment in the NY Times. When "the masses" won´t buy your rag, you eventually have to cut the staff. Hopefully that will include Nobel prize winning economists.

Great news.

Cheered me right up.

Its not like they are "reporting" the news or exercising journalism. All they need is a photocopier re re-print the democrat talking points. And for local news, just reprint the Bloomberg talking points.

Besides.....there are how many leftist new organizations reporting the exact same thing?

too bad so sad.

I hear Pravda and Algorejazeera is hiring.

When they became stenographers for the DNC they lost their virtue and their value. Good reporting still has value and sells, political rants, not so much.

Good. It couldn´t have happened any better to arse licking demonrat supporters. The Slimes practice of reporting all the lies fit to print and having the WH approve those stories has finally come home to roost.

NYT: Good writing tainted by too much partisanship...

The NYT is laying people off? That´s news that´s fit to print!

Die, NYT, die. Better dead than read.

Yes to all above and I remember when they gave up (didn´t require a Heimlich) the info that our intelligence was tracking Osama´s and other of his ilk cell phone gps locations and conversations even tho Bush 43 administration pled with them not to ...the NYT rots in local grocery store bins...

Drip -- drip -- drip..........

This is a sign of our time!! By that I mean -- those of US who have known about the bamboozler all along have prepared for his "rule"....

The libbie fools that followed and continue to follow him are just now starting to experience his regime.

Wake up.....

LZK

Oh I wouldn´t worry about it all that much. ...In rides the "taupe dope" and tells us they are "too big to fail", and lays our tax monies on them. They live to pollute another day

Another one bites the dust--and this is just one of the many that will die slow deaths over the next 6 months.
Good riddance.

#18 - have you seen some of the conservative articles in Pravda recently? They have taken on topics like our debt, entitlements and most recently the 2nd Amendment and global warming BS, all from the pro-conservative prospective.
I have read at least a half dozen articles in Pravda that would NEVER appear in the NYT, WAPO, or any other liberal rag. Pretty pathetic that Pravda is more fair and balanced than our MSM

My...my...what a difference one election makes. After the slimes, a good many other rags ought to be heading down the same road. Something about that old supply and demand thing, no? People don´t like a company´s product, company goes away. no rocket science here. Now to see it happen in the television news media which is long overdue.

#24--I´d forgotten about that! The NYT did print articles about Osama´s gps cell phone locations. How many lives were lost? How much treasure spent because of their treachery? In any other nation, the editors-in-chief would still be in jail.
Obama is a job destroyer. The NYT thought they´d bought some cover. Nice to see karma in action.

Would that the same could happen to TV media, including some of the expensive dinosaur comedians who have so much fun denigrating. As for the newspapers, I take quiet pleasure whenever layoffs are announced. There´s not much of an industry left to absorb some of these galoots. Wonder where they will go?

Pravda and Al Jazeera are more accurate and have more integrity than the NYTs. They stab you in the chest not the back.

I´m surprised that the Goebbels arm of the Obama regime has lasted this long. I would bet my bottom dollar that the NYT was a recipient of stimulus money to keep them afloat. It´s never been publicly revealed where the rest of that money went and, as mentioned above, they worshiped ol´ jug ears and his obnoxious, meddling wife for years.

May they not rest in peace for their treachery towards the American people.

I´m still waiting for the day when they unload Paul Krugman. He can then work full-time for the DNC and become an honest man.

N.B.: I did not say a perceptive man.

You can´t fool all the people all the time.

Apparently, Algore has decided to retire and longer requires his support staff at the NYT.

The Grey Lady has been dead and dessicated in her rocking chair for some time. Now we just have to contend with her psycho spawn.

Payback for Walter Durranty.

NYT is great - as long as they avoid politics. Same with New Yorker and other lib mags/papers. It´s really just their weird left wing bias that is so troubling.

Having said that, Rupert! There might be a paper for sale!!!

Oh noes. How will Brian Williams fill 30 minutes of his ´news´ show?

Couldn´t happen to a nicer bunch of lies.

I´m gonna buy a pair of red shoes and dance in the streets. I may pass out candy.

ULULULULULULULULULULULULLULULULULU...!

Algorezeera, #1, Algorezeera. Language is important! Please write Algorezeera every time you comment about Algorezeera in other forums. Hang Algorezeera around that SOB´s neck until the day he dies.

I want to see MoDo out on the street with a bottle of vodka in her cold dead hand.

Last man standing-Paul Krugman.

Couldn´t happen to a finer bunch, I say lock the doors and go away. Now that they are on the way out we the people should help, by further boycotts of their advertisers! What do you say? Hum?

Carlos Slim is is too smart to have invested in this travesty for anything other than first position on the building. Said building should be vacant shortly, I am happy to say.

#1 is probably more correct than we think

Maybe they`re being laid off for the purpose of replacing them with cheaper labor.

The Slimes could probably become a profitable entity in a short time IF they would become an honest, fact finding, investigating newspaper instead of having become nothing more that a propaganda machine for leftists, socialists, communists, progressives, etc. However, even now, I really don´t think that they perceive the reasons for their downfall.

I´m not got to cry any crocodile tears for them.

I refuse to rejoice in this tragedy. I will spend the entire day contemplating the ways in which I can be of help

[WAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA]

to those dedicated newspeople who face the turmoil and angst

[YAHOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO]

which unemployment inevitably causes. I ask my fellow L-dotters

[BWAAA-WAA-WAA-WAA-WAAAAAAA]

to join me in this effort to provide succor to our fellow human beings in their hours of need.

[YEE-HEE-HOO-HOO-HA-HA-HA-WHEEEEEEEEEEE!]

Thank you.

If these propaganda machines ever disappear maybe the sheeple will start listing to some fact laden common sense programs like Levin, Limbaugh and Hannity. I admit it will be hard for the goverment workers i mean parasite´s and well fare crowd to not have there vote bought by the liberal goverment. Only then will the votes change

Die NYT, die!!

Why doesn´t Mr. Slim buy the rest of the paper and move it all to Tijuana?

I´m hearing Stars and Stripes Forever. "Times announces layoffs" Cymbal crash.

I am still waiting for the day they close their doors.

"You´d have to have a heart of stone not to laugh." Oscar Wilde

Like unions, "major" newspapers have outlived their usefulness. Local stuff is still uesful and really can´t be adequately distributed on hte Internet

Now look what they´ve done! My bird stopped singing because his cage wont be lined anymore and the dog is whining because when he wets the floor I´ve got nothing to put down underneath him! Thanks a lot!

#37 LOL. I immediately pictured Norman Bates´ mother.

I´m glad our boycotts are putting the squeeze on that lying rag. Carlos Slim will want his loan repaid someday, why not tomorrow?

Schaudenfraude.

#3 Amen to that too.
Those who sleep with dogs soon get fleas then soon get deloused or scratch themselves into oblvion.

It´s about time, however they´ll probably just get jobs with the Obama administration, at substantial pay increases. They left always take care of their own.

“Let me attempt to be optimistic: Maybe the scary sense of uncertainty that permeates the place right now will inspire creativity, innovation, risk-taking,” the staffer said.

To the Times´ staffer that said this: Seems there´s been too much creativity and innovation in your newspaper. Why not just start telling the truth, reporting the news and, have some curiosity and good old fashioned skepticism when being fed the White House talking points and press releases. You know, the same curiosity and skepticism you reserve for Republicans.

That said, the demise of this entire corporation cannot come fast enough for me.

Well, maybe the state controlled media´s lord
and savior, lord messiah o´bama, will dictate
to congress to bail them out!!

Perhaps the best consequence of the demise of the NYT will be the confusion among their minions. What will the WaPo, LAT, ... do when the NYT stops sending them their daily talking points?

Another case of The Obama Kiss Of Death.
