Wall Street Journal Keeps Gaining Customers while NYT, WaPo, LAT & their pilot fish on the edge of bankruptcy?

NYT Managing Editor Keller Whines That Murdoch at WSJ is "Corrosive" as NYT loses 8.47% of PAID CIRCULATION! BooHoo Wa Wa Wa!!!

NYT Whiner-in-Chief Calls Rupert Murdoch "CORROSIVE" evidently because cry-baby Keller and his girly-Krupskaya Abramson of the Jill variety have had their paid circulation rudely rubbed off at the tune of MINUS 8.47% by Rupert's rampantly pubescent Wall Street Journal, the ONLY NEWSPAPER TO GAIN PAID CIRCULATION AND ONLINE PAID PRODUCT IN THE USA LAST YEAR!

The illiterate Butch-spawn led by Joan Walsh over at SALON have the most wonderful headline yet, displaying ignorance and apathy in giant portions with "Rise of free web news and higher prescription and newsstand costs have resulted in declining sales" indicating to Salon that higher expense of scripts from docs leading inevitably to less availability of drugs has seriously cut back on "subscription" to dead-tree delivered-at-the-door ink-stained paper. Salon has a serious medicinal marijuana problem, as an epidemic of glaucoma has evidently brightened their vision while leaving out those pesky details!

UPDATEViacom Prez. Sumner Redstone does cwybaby Keller one better and informs the Michael Milken Conference attendees of his plan

“He lives in ink, and I live in movies and television,” Redstone said. “Ink is going to go away, and movies and television will be here forever, like me.” Redstone, 86, for the second straight year told an audience at the event that he plans “to live forever,” and that he continues to “eat and drink every antioxidant known to man.” His family holding company, National Amusements Inc., was forced to sell CBS and Viacom stock in October 2008 to satisfy lenders.

Redstone might be chewing on sour grapes, and his plan for eternal life hasn't been successfully tried since Jesus resurrected himself on Easter Sunday 1980-odd years ago, And Jesus's whereabouts are in dispute ever since, although he promised to return.

Most are good only for fishwrap, but The NY Post was started in 1801 by Hamilton, I believe, and is keeping its nose close to the waterline & the SD Union-Trib is the only conservative paper on the Left Coast & has some reader loyalty. I was interviewed by The Oregonian long ago & it seems to be holding firm, perhaps the only lib paper besides the St. Pete Times to do so.

Some of them deserve death for a corporate journalistic culture of braindeath, such as the San Fran Chron, who had a map once when I was there showing Qaddafi's "Line of Death" without it's being in quotes, as though it were a feature on a map that was semi-permanent!

I'm noting the absence of the Baltimore Sun and the Atlanta Constitution---I sort of like the Sun, home of Mencken and some other real journalistic one-of-a-kinds, but the Atlanta Constitution won't be missed by many.

I am hoping Pudge Sulzberger falls off his Harly and grown-ups take over the running of what used to be a good newspaper.
