New York Times threatens to shut Boston Globe

BOSTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) – The New York Times Co has threatened to shut The Boston Globe unless the newspaper's unions quickly agree to $20 million in concessions, the Globe reported on Friday, quoting union leaders.

The union officials said executives from the Globe and the Times, which owns the Boston newspaper, made the demands on Thursday morning in a meeting with leaders of the newspaper's 13 unions, the Globe reported.

Dude... Pravda is like the "Global News" or whatever it is that published "photos" of cities on Mars that were quite literally poor drawings and obviously so.

They publish stories about new powerful STDs that are like ebola on steroids and all of them end with your penis falling off...

Seriously, nothing is as bad as the current Pravda.
 
I think that this needs to be looked at from a purely business perspective. The NYT has every right to make those sorts of decisions surrounding the operation of the Boston Globe. It is theirs. I have no problem at all with them doing what they think they need to do in order to stay in business.

The liberal versus conservative reaction only has to do with how we hope it all turns out. I ceretainly hope that the Times and the unions can reach some sort of an agreement.... for the worker's sakes, and for the media's sake.

If this were Faux News, on the other hand, I would be hoping that they would fail in their efforts.:cof1:

Keller: Times will be 'left standing after the deluge'
POLITICO'S Tim Grieve reports:

STANFORD, Calif. -- New York Times executive editor Bill Keller spoke at Stanford Thursday to mark the opening of a new building for The Stanford Daily -- an event he acknowledged might feel a little like a "ribbon-cutting" for "a new Pontiac dealership."

Among Keller's observations about the "unnerving future" of newspapers:

On the NYT: Keller predicted that the Times will be "left standing after the deluge." Noting that readers have offered to donate money to keep the Times alive, Keller suggested that GM probably isn't getting similar offers.

Commenting on the keep-the-Times alive movement, Keller said: "Saving the New York Times now ranks with saving Darfur as a high-minded cause."

On CNN: Keller said it's hard to remember that the letters stand for Cable News Network when reporting is replaced by "juries of commentators" behind laptops on a set that looks like "a parody of a 'Daily Show' parody" of a news set.

On Newsweek: Citing Newsweek's plan to focus more on features, Keller asked, "I don't know what they're going to do about the magazine's title."

On the Web: Keller said that the Internet still isn't a source for much "indigenous" reporting, but that a few outlets -- Talking Points Memo, POLITICO and the Smoking Gun archives among them -- have won big followings and "respect."

On Google and other news aggregators: "If you're inclined to trust Google as your source for news -- Google yourself."

UPDATE: Keller's responded to POLITICO.

Most of those having fun with this not only don't care about the Times, they also don't care unions .. or workers.

Additionally, the notion that the Times is liberal is bullshit. Liberal publications called out the invasion of Iraq for what it was from the beginning. The Times did not, and in fact, far too often and for far too long the Times supported that miserable failure.

These are really lean times for conservatives in America today. Not much to shout about, very little in accomplishment. Thus, many have taken to crowing about Fox News being "number 1" .. and unfortunately, a sign of the difficult times American businesses and workers have been put in BECAUSE of conservative failures.

Actually I think it's the left's insanity regarding FOX and Limbaugh that have made the right react. In any case, newspapers are going the way of vinyl and papyrus. Nothing anyone can do to stop that.

You're forgetting the Bush years my good sister. The left went through 8 years of constant attack from the right. Anyone who didn't support what we now know to be one of the greatest military and strategic disasters/blunders in American history was called "unpatriotic" and a slew of foul names and labels.

The right has no moral ground to whine about anything. They controlled almost every level of government and had so much power they were drunk with it .. and all they produced with that power was disaster from top to bottom. In eight years they have effectively put an end to the American Century. That disaster was lead by Fox and Limbaugh, wrong about everything, cheerleaders to disaster. What American shouldn't be angry with Fox and Limbaugh .. who also truly cares more about this country than ideology?

The right has no moral ground to whine about ANYTHING.

I agree that print MSM is dissolving .. another reason you can't compare the Times with Fox.

With all due respect, blaming all of the right for what was said to the left; means the shoe is on the other foot now. Not where we should be. I tend away from terms like 'libs, libtards, etc.' Serves no purpose and really doesn't convey anything but hostility.

I'm not happy with Obama, didn't think I would be as I knew somethings about him before he started running and knew we'd never see eye-to-eye. ;) With that said, I feel no compunction to ridicule him personally, as so many to the left of center did Bush, that was just wrong for the country, IMO. But past is past. There will be some on the right that will act as insane as the left did for 8 years. I'm sure I'll respond in anger to some on both sides and regret it the next day. I'll be sorry for how I said what I said, probably not the feeling behind it though.

On the other hand, we're all we have on this big blue marble, perhaps we should all start acting like it?

The newspapers are gone, the media isn't. It's evolving and there's room for all to play. :clink:

As you know, I don't blame all the failures on the right, but they had their hands on the wheel. Limbaugh and Fox were wrong about every damn thing they said. America suffers because of them, not strengthened by them.

Bush wasn't ridiculed and confronted enough. Liberals and everybody else were absolutely correct in doing so. The problem is that the right failed in their responsibility to stand for the country before ideology. Not confronting Bush was not good for America, confronting him was.

MSM also failed in their responsibility to function as the Fouth Estate, thus I feel no sorrow in watching them dissolve.

I believe its time we grow up as a people and recognize that we are being played by both major parties.

Ridiculing the president or his supporters is just wrong, IMO, politically and socially. Politically because juvenile, partisan attacks just causes the other side to entrench and feel justified to protect 'their guy', without thought. Now the ideas, that's fair game, but not without explanations and when possible a better idea perhaps. Socially the left/right, rich/poor arguments are just alienating us from each other and solutions to shared problems and perhaps solutions.

I don't thing the media will dissolve, anymore than music died with the end of vinyl.

The fact that they have to be saved at all only proves what an awful paper they are, or I should say have become.

Liberal papers around the country are all in trouble. They like to blame the internet when the largest blame is due to their editorializing news either by headline or flat out leftist bias in their stories. People know propaganda when they read it.

All papers are in trouble, regardless of slant. It's technology and cost of printing.

It's demand coupled with rising costs; no one is buying them. Think about it this way Annie. What natioanlly known papers (large city newspapers) that are conservative, are in trouble?

You tell me which are successful. The idea of slamming and slanting everything gets a bit old, when unprovoked.
