Personal attack. This means you can't address the fact that the NY Times is failing. i.e. Laying off staff, selling off assets, getting rid of floorspace.
Not a personal attack. An observation. I specifically said their statements showed they were profitable and you claim some unsubstantiated investment. Investments do not show on a P &L.
Trump Organization has sold assets in the past. Guess they are failing since apparently that is the sign of a failing company.
By the by, I noted yesterday, in yet another thread, that "The Mexican" had loaned the New York Times 250 million, which the Times re-paid before the note was even due. Mr. Slim was impressed enough to begin purchasing Class A shares in the company.
While the editorial staffers plan a symbolic walk-out to protest layoffs within their ranks, I doubt it portends financial collapse of the company.
Sure, Carlos Slim has personally poured a pile of money into the NY Times. Hence "Mexican Owned". Doesn't mean it's not failing. The staff walkout is testimony to that.
he owns 16.8% of the stock...thats not mexican owned. LOL.
Trump has a long line of casualties of those that stepped into the ring with him, to go toe-to-toe. Sometimes, come to find out, he had both hands tied behind his back and still mopped the floor with them.
You would think they learned their lesson
Really? Could you please list them?
You know who has learned lessons? The banks he stiffed, the workmen he stiffed, the wives he stiffed.
Those he's threatened but not mopped the floor with - Bill Maher over comic insults, Scotland over wind farms, Vegas/Atlantic City over casinos, Obama over birther claims, students over Trump U.
So who has he mopped? Inquiring minds want to know. He's mostly settled.
Indeed, the NYT is restructuring and staff is protesting the changes. Staff hate changes.
The Times has far more editors relative to reporters or to the number of stories we publish than any of our traditional print peers or our newer digital rivals,” they added. “After this restructuring, we will continue to invest far more in editing than any of our competitors do.”
Are they "failing"? There's no evidence of that except in the minds of a certain sort.
