More in the "whocouldanode" column - Being a mouthpiece of the corrupt "most transparent administration in history" isn't something people want to buy. And with such critical thinkers as Paul Krugman writing, too! Shocking, I say.
Hopefully, they'll follow Air America rather quickly.

The New York Times announced Thursday that profits had fallen nearly 50% in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the same period a year before. Earnings per share dropped by roughly two-thirds, from $0.76 to $0.24. Total revenues were down 5.2% and advertising revenues were down 6.3%, with print advertising revenues falling by 7.0% and digital by 4.3% over 2013. The company added digital subscribers, up 19% in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to same period in 2012, but its circulation revenues were down, too.
The Times' results will surprise analysts who had predicted healthy results for the last three months of 2013. Analysts have tended to focus on the increase in digital subscriptions to the New York Times, which has been a focus for new CEO Mark Thompson, formerly of the BBC. However, the rise in digital readers has not come with a corresponding rise in digital advertising revenues. Ultimately, the question is whether readers still want the content the Times is providing. That remains to be seen, since online competition for center-left news is tight.
It is not the first time that the Times has experienced such a decline in advertising revenues
