When can we expect the New York Times to change its motto to “all the news you need to know”?

Question for Punk: Before who finds out what????

I remember the first time I heard about Amazon, I thought it was probably something like Victoria’s Secret…….(wow, was I disappointed!)

I remember when Newsweek was actually a news magazine, bringing a reader information across the broad range of human activity. It fell victim both to changing technology and a drift into shallow partisanship and fluff. I don’t know what Bezos can do to make the Post break even. The usual tactic in media of firing most of the staff doesn’t seem to work very well. But if the Post falls, and the Times after it, where is broadcast “journalism” going to get its news?

Same for the state-controlled media like CNN, just another name for Pravda and Ivestiya.

Stockholders shouldn’t fret over Bezos, since he didn’t buy the corporation, just the newspaper it had been running. The corp. still owns a rip-off private education company they should be delighted to be part of.

Big talk about your news analysis when the worthless leftwing in this nation watches MSNBC with convicted liar Al Sharpton.
