The Grey Lady, champion of ‘agenda journalism’ and guilty of collusion to Neocon war crimes and silence over the 911 cover up has turned mainstream America away. The paper has lost its’ credibility. It’s debt is overwhelming and it’s unfair stock structure is an anathema to fair play, Joe Sixpack and free market capitalism. There are hidden issues not “fit to print” as well. The Times is a world class toxic polluter. A hundred years of toxic heavy metal ink has landed in the local landfills. The newspaper is so toxic bacteria can’t eat it. You can dig out ‘pristine’ copies from local landfills dated in the 1920′s. The newspaper encouraged their readers to wrap their fish before freezing. No telling how many people died from this advice.
Thirty percent of the bulk space is taken up by this toxic sludge. Millions of gallons a day leech in NY harbor from the Fishkill site daily. Cancer clusters find their way on the map close to the landfills. Yet there is no news about the danger or how, or who will clean it up. The Times has made a living on using other people’s money. They have no intention of ever cleaning up the death they put into the neighborhood landfills. The mayor’s race in Jerusalem is news fit to print, not your kid’s, wife’s, or grandma’s cancer.

Sure, the blog and pop culture aggregates would thrive. But depth thirsty readers can only take so much Reuters and AP visa vi Google News.

It’s the reason I would pay for an annual subscription even though it’s been free for all these years. Crucify me if you must, but I’ll pay for quality like this on the internet. (Are you listening, New York Times?) :)
