Friday and Saturday saw a 22% rise in sales from a year ago! So where is
the NY Times on this story?

I haven't read any of the articles, so I really can't comment on
*them,* but from what you have posted, a likely scenario is that, as
predicted, a larger percentage of business is being transacted over
the Internet and at big-box stores. That would hurt Mall Stores, which
is what, from what you have posted, the NYT article was about.

That is precisely what this particular NY Times story is about. But if you
scan their business section, you will find that they don't make mention of
what a great weekend retailers *in general* had.

Good news (during a Republican presidency) doesn't make the news if you're
the NY Times.
