The NY Post is run by Rupert Murdoch to further his conservative
agenda. It loses $50 million a year.

The Washington Times is run by Rev. Sun Myung Moon to further his
conservative agenda. By some estimates Rev. Moon has sunk $2 to $3
billion into it and it has never been profitable.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is run by Richard Mellon Scaife to
further his conservative agenda. It loses $20 to $30 million a year.

The Weekly Standard used to be owned by Murdoch to further his
conservative agenda but is now owned by Philip Anschutz to further
his conservative agenda. Either way, it loses $5 million a year.

And the New York Times (liberal is its middle name) is on the verge
of bankruptcy. Tell it all or don't tell it at all.

The New York Times Co. reported a steep drop in third-quarter profits
on Thursday, the latest gloomy earnings report in an industry
battered by online competition and falling print advertising revenue.

The New York Times Co. said net profit fell by 51.4 percent in the
third quarter to 6.5 million dollars, or five cents per share, from
13.4 million dollars, or nine cents per share, in the same period a
year ago.

The company, which owns About.com, The Boston Globe, International
Herald Tribune and 16 other daily newspapers besides the flagship The
New York Times, said overall advertising revenue fell by 14.4 percent
during the quarter.

Shortly after the release of its results, Standard & Poors said it
was lowering the Times's credit rating to "BB-," or junk status,
while Moody's Investors Service said it was placing it on review for
possible downgrade.





Whoosh. It's not about losing revenue. Most newspapers are hurting
because of the shifts in media habits. The rags I mentioned are
operated to further an individual's political agenda.

The NY Times, a moderate-to-mildly liberal newspaper, is not. It isn't
owned by an individual, as are the NY Post, the Wash Times, or the
Trib-Review.

Got it, Lu?

Probably not.


I do get the difference. KOS is not exactly the most objective source
for anything. Its existence is due in part to the largesse of a
billionaire with his own agenda. That sort of makes KOS a rag like the
ones you slammed. As I said, tell it all or don't tell it at all.

Relax. Have some fun. Go boating. Show your wife how lucky she is to
have a man like you.


KOS doesn't pretend to be a newspaper. It is an opinion site. It does
have writers who present factually based articles, and it does "reprint"
factual news from other sites.

Faux News, the NY Post, the Wash Times, et cetera, are nothing more than
the personal rags and playthings of their owners. The Wash Times is
owned and operated by the Loonie Moonies, and is run as an adjunct to
their political and religious agenda.
