Don't Blame Me, Boston Globe

Like a faithful fool I am still buying one even after you raised the price. 

Not really reading it, but....

"Print ad declines weigh on Times Co." April 22, 2011

The publisher of The New York Times and 17 other daily newspapers including The Boston Globe said its first-quarter earnings fell 58 percent because of a decline in print advertising revenue.

Quarterly declines in print ad revenue at The New York Times Co. and other publishers narrowed through most of last year. But the Times Co.’s latest results suggest the improvement may be stalling....  

I love the spin they put on continuing to lose money. Think of it this way: from down below decks in the Titanic comes a call to the captain that less water is coming into the boat.  

You are still sinking but things have improved, right?

After stripping out one-time items in both quarters, such as severance payments and tax-related adjustments, this year’s performance looked even worse....  

Maybe if you guys hadn't lied about the wars, the economy, the environment, and just about damn near everything else in order to push a supremacist and corporatist agenda things would be different. 
 
I mean, you have LOST ME, guys -- a dedicated reader for nearly 20 years now!

And after ALL the TRAFFIC I have SENT YOUR WAY with my links you are going to make me PAY AGAIN for the PROPAGANDA?

Nothing because I never even look at them anymore, and never visit their website.  

The Globe is my prism; is it any wonder
