Desperate Times Bring Redesign to NY Times

The New York Times stupidly ended its online subscriptions. I liked subscribing to the Times online, with the extra benefits the package carried. I wouldn't mind paying something like up to $100 annually for a subscription with a few perks tossed in.

How the FT Is Losing the Financial Opinion Wars

Thanks! Very interesting read!

I dropped my online subscription to WSJ when Murdoch bought it out and I saw the outstanding journalistic coverage of the Journal slipping into flashgirlytown like many of Murdoch's media enterprises.

I now subscribe to FT and am lost in its discussion of UK and European stocks and businesses but I think FT introduces me into a totally new world of financial understanding and broadens my narrow, parochially American views of the world.

I think their coverage of political and other news, my primary reasons for subscribing, is outstanding and gives me information that is unavailable in an American media dominated by the trivialities of the Murdoch media empire.

Chatting With News Corp's Rupert Murdoch

Lisa, Murdoch's ridiculous statement also caught my eye.

I have never been able to forgive Murdoch for dumbing down U.S. news coverage since his entry into the U.S. media market.

I find U.S. tv newscasts impossible to view because they are so devoid of content.

Sirius/XM Merger: What Happens if It Doesn’t Happen?

Thank you for the heartening news about Sirius, especially since I, also, own Sirius stock.

Berkshire Hathaway Should Buy CBS

A splendid concept! I like the idea of Buffet entering into the media fray.

Is Cablevision Overpaying for Newsday?

Arrghhh! Bad news about print media.

Very sad to learn about the McClatchy situation.

Sirius, XM: FCC Determined to Establish Its Authority

I've now had an opportunity to read the other comments here.

First of all, this is the one solid truth of American broadcasting.

American terrestrial radio is predominantly, indeed, suffocatingly extremist and right wing. There is very little liberal broadcasting happening in American terrestrial radio. I hope that you all can handle this simple little truth.

XM and Sirius radio are two strongholds where liberal speech and true freedom are permissible.

Frankly, I was very excited about their, I hope it was a joint proposal, to offer channels to minorities. It is about time and it is an exciting development in broadcasting. One tires of hearing only the tired rhetoric of boring old white men. I demand new voices.

I am tired of hearing what explodes from Rush Limbaugh's broad buttocks on station after station after station. The scoundrel has a monopoly on American broadcasting and he is boring, totally boring, even his utterly pathetic sex life is boring. A guy who can only get it on with little boys!

Ick!

Sirius, XM: FCC Determined to Establish Its Authority

I presume that it is Kevin Martin who's putting the breaks on this merger.

Why?

Dan Rather on His CBS Lawsuit: 'I Feel Pretty Good'

Thanks for posting this. I doubt it's being given much coverage by the so-called MSM.

Here's Hoping Cramer Gets His Satellite Radio Merger

Provocative.
