Anybody seen the new New York Times ad campaign? Suddenly, they seem to care about truth. They say now more than ever it is important.



Buy our propaganda! We're a sinking ship but believe us.

The TRUTH is....

Quote:It’s the 10,000-subscriber-a-day march.

As the full meaning of a Donald Trump presidency preoccupies American minds, The New York Times has seen a more-than-tenfold increase in daily subscription sign-ups, far surpassing any other news medium.

In fact, on a number of individual days since the election, more than 10,000 new subscribers have offered up their credit cards – which would be almost 20 times the rate of subscription sign-ups just a year ago.

As New York Times CEO Mark Thompson takes center stage this afternoon at New York City’s annual UBS Global Media and Communications Conference, he’ll offer up the latest numbers, which could come in at about 170,000 or more – just since election day.

Behind the Times’ surge to 2.5 million subscribers

Not sure you and the Donald actually know the meaning of sinking...or failing.

Trump might just end up saving old media

Sounds like Donald has been profitable for them. And sinking to the lowest common denominator.

I saw the TV spot the other day and literally laughed out loud when I saw the sponsor.

The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and the LA Times are all seeing subscription increases.

From what I'm reading, it's mostly digital subscriptions. But there are quite a few who are opting for print as well.
