The New York Times - 24hourcampfire

Do you know who owns it, and do you think he bought it to make a profit?

By some, no doubt, but to thinking people it's a leftist propaganda rag with no regard for the truth. If the Greenies were really concerned about the environment, they'd be demanding that all print media be banned, but since most papers are helping them spread their manure, that'll never happen.

I figure the money being lost propping up the NYT, the WP, etc is money the owners don't have to donate to Hillary.

And he makes LOTS of money off all those calls back to Mexico. More illegals in the US of A means more money for him.

Yeah...I should have said "Make a profit from selling newspapers".

It's a wonder why the NYT aren't hard against immigration. It helps him all the way around.

Everything I've read on the dude is that he's a real slim ball of epic proportions.

Here's an article I read a few months ago about him.

Did you read that Pat? It's a reminder that it will take a HELL of a lot more than one election to right the ship.

Yes. That's why I get frustrated by those who think an individual is gonna fix everything wrong with Washington by getting along with the ones that are the problem.

does he own it outright now? I thought he invested in it, to around 15%? don't the Ochs/Sulzbergers still own most of the rest?

Sycamore

He's the largest stockholder.
