'One who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.'
To al-Qaida, the Democrats want to ring the dinner bell. "

Bad business plan for NYT

American Thinker- Print Article: "Yet management led by a chief executive who owes his position to nepotism continues to position the newspaper properties as propaganda organs, destroying a century's legacy as a trusted news source.

Too many newspapers and media outlets are destroying their customer base and I can't figure out why. Bummer...... thank God AlGore invented the internet and re-invented the documentary....
