Any you know this how? The first thing one does when deciding the health of a company is to look at their financials and do a valuation. In the case of NYT they show a profit, their assets far exceed their liabilities. So on the surface they are doing fine.

No show me your evidence of all these businesses failing.

And now, the Communist propaganda machine, the NY Times confirmed as fake news and less viewers and credibility than Alex Jones.

Are they "failing"? There's no evidence of that except in the minds of a certain sort.

They got confirmed as FAKE NEWS under oath in a Congressional testimony, with facts to back it up.
I bet they are restructuring and cleaning house.

They think they know best and do the thinking for everyone around here. Afterall, they are intellectual.

Really? Is low IQ a personal attack?

How is it a personal attack? The ability to read a financial statement is not a requirement to get through life.

As far as employees protesting over staff reductions (which is what I read), again, that does not equate to a failing business. How many successful fortune 500 companies have periodic layoffs. It is extremely common in publicly traded companies.

Bad days at the NY Times indeed. Big lawsuit filed by Sarah Palin, now staff is revolting. Like CNN they are a sinking ship.

Rebellion At The NYTimes: Newsroom To Walk Out After "Decrying Direction Of Paper" | Zero Hedge
Slims owns about 17% of stock. He bought at 6.36 and shares are now valued at 17.80. He has no influence on reporting.

Institutions and mutual funds combined own about 70% of shares.

It's a tad more than a blog but you knew that when you posted.

Dozens of NYT employees walked out for 15 minutes in what their union called a " collective coffee break"

They walked out because of the buyout offer to the most senior with layoffs to follow if enough do not take the offer.

Similar scenarios have been played out in corporate America for decades. A similar walkout at the WSJ occured last year. Prince Al- Waleed of Saudi Arabia was the second largest single shareholder of News Corp inc, parent of WSJ and Fox News. Like Slims, he exerted no editorial control.

The big lawsuit by Sarah Palin that you referred to is seeking $75,000. Her recent books, reality TV, and hopes that Trump would appoint her have bombed.

Most print media could only hope to have the circulation numbers of the WSJ and NYT.
