Reply #18: Time for a large scale boycott of purchasing the NYTimes complete with

[bunny planet]

a barrage of letters to the editor decrying their stance that Judy Miller is a heroine of journalistic integrity. I cancelled my 20 yr. subscription to the paper last year right after the election, and told them at the time that I was disgusted and dismayed at their coverage of the lead up to the Iraq war, and their lack of ethics in not firing Ms. Miller after it was exposed that she was a shoddy reporter at best and a shill, warmongering liar at worst.

I have been keeping up with the paper on line for free, but now that they've made their only half way decent section of the paper, the editorial page, a paid feature, it's time to let the Times know that unless they get REAL, they can look forward to laying off a lot more than just 400 employees. If they've decided to be a shadow of their former self, and a worthless corporate rag, then we won't be losing much if they go out of business. I'm going to inform them that I'll be getting my access to their editorial page from a relative who still subscribes to the paper, if everyone mentions that, it might make them think, hmmmmmmm, circulation could be cut in quarters or worse if people started doing in en masse.

If 10 people cancel their subscriptions and tell them they'll be borrowing the paper from a person who still has a subscription or buys the paper, multiply that scenario thousands of times, that translates into severe decline in paying readership. Too bad, the Old Gray Lady is now the Old Painted Lady, in other words, a presstitute. Cut Judy Miller loose, stop supporting her lies and helping to sell her new book, or else become forever and ever irrelevant and/or OUT OF BUSINESS.
