Anybody seen the news on the New York Times?

I logged on to the New York Times site this morning and all I found was this:



Kind of hard to find the story linking North Korea to a Syrian nuclear reactor buried beneath the massive American Express advertisement don't you think? Rumors of the Times' financial troubles pop up just about every year. Although the latest batch is particularly worrisome. Completely underreported is the fact that the Times is now allowing general advertising on its Op-Ed page. For years it had been limited to advocacy advertising only. If this continues, the Times will wind up looking like the free Metro or AM newspapers being handed out in major cities. And so continues the death of news here in the merry ol' United States.
