It's just amazing how the culture of an organization can be so resistant to change. They just announced a layoff of 500 people and are losing money big time. Why intelligent people can't connect the dots and understand that quality, fairness and journalistic integrity lie at the heart of their organizational problems with the customer astounds me The pity of it is, the Internet Age really needs a paper of record - one that would report fairly and fully, and use the unlimited space of a web site to link to the full copies of the speeches and treaties they covered. Surely they could charge for this, just as the WSJ does. I remember that back in the 1970s, the NYT would routinely print the full text of speeches in its paper. How often does it do so now? Instead they seem to be turning themselves into an American version of The Guardian, while denying the obvious to themselves and everybody else. Calame can act as a useful gadfly but he can't find their center for them if they've lost it.

The NYT has become so biased it doesn't begin to see the bias. And continues to lose subscribers because of that bias. The country seems fairly evenly split politically. One would think that common sense would dictate that it would be foolish to toss 50% of your business in the trash.
