NY Times Goes Off the Deep End

[CurrentAffairs]

Leave it to the New York Times to try and force thier hate agenda on something as superfilous as the Superbowl commercials.


Super Bowl Ads of Cartoonish Violence, Perhaps Reflecting Toll of War

No commercial that appeared last night during Super Bowl XLI directly addressed Iraq, unlike a patriotic spot for Budweiser beer that ran during the game two years ago. But the ongoing war seemed to linger just below the surface of many of this year’s commercials.

More than a dozen spots celebrated violence in an exaggerated, cartoonlike vein that was intended to be humorous, but often came across as cruel or callous.

Give me a break!

Super Bowl Ads of Cartoonish Violence, Perhaps Reflecting Toll of War - New York Times

You know...I was listening to NPR this morning on the way to work and heard that some university observed an audience during the super bowl ads and found that the anxiety levels during the ads exceeded the anxiety during the game itself. I wonder if that is where they are drawing this far fetched conclusion from...

I didn't realize that a drop in circulation was indicative of being a "rag" newspaper.

Well a rag lies, twists the truth, leaves things out when reporting to further their agenda so yeah the NYT IS a rag. And from the lack of people subscribing to it I'd say people are finally catching on.

Hey, look. CBS basically said the same thing. They must be haters, too.

Pain, Humiliation Dominated Super Bowl Ads, Adweek's Barbara Lippert Says Most Commercials Resorted To Slap-Happy Formula - CBS News

War in Iraq = Humiliation

and so did this paper...

Humiliation. Violence. Embarrassment.

Sounds like the War in Iraq to me.

Over-rated, bias'd and more often wrong.

I don't read the NYT, so I have no idea as to the rag-gedness of their publication.

This particular story seems a bit out there though.

Doesn't look like it'll be a newspaper for much longer.

NY Times publisher: Our goal is to manage the transition from print to internet - Haaretz - Israel News

Given the constant erosion of the printed press, do you see the New York Times still being printed in five years?

"I really don't know whether we'll be printing the Times in five years, and you know what? I don't care either," he says.

Sulzberger is focusing on how to best manage the transition from print to Internet.

"The Internet is a wonderful place to be, and we're leading there," he points out.
