The same NYT whose profit shrank by 95,7% in the last quarter because of the extremely biased reporting?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3897406/New-York-Times-reports-95-7-percent-fall-quarterly-profit.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3897406/New-York-Tim...
And the exactly same numbers by Reuters but with completely misleading headline as if everything was fine:

Funny how the NYT now makes about as much profit as I do as a contractor. Maybe I should buy them and put their journalists to more profitable use, like for example letting them clean toilets or work the streets.
Edit: Why the downvotes? Does somebody dispute the fact that the NYT's profits are down by 95,7%? Or would somebody dispute that this company wouldn't be making more profit if it sent its employees to clean toilets or sell their bodies?
I believe I made here a sensible business case for saving the NYT.
- DanBC 10y agoYou talk about bias, but then cite the daily fucking mail. For people who aren't aware, most of the UK press is scum, and the daily mail is certainly among the scummier end of UK newspapers.
- DominikR 10y agoThat's why I cite Reuters below which reports identical data. Profit fell by 95,7% down to about $400k.
- iza 10y agoThey went from barely making a profit to basically breaking even, the 95.7% figure is very misleading. > Revenue fell 1 percent to $363.6 million
- DominikR 10y agoProfit fell to $400k, there are many people that actually make this kind of money as employees.
