Ayn Rand!
Greenspan's skank.
I think the story is HYSTERICAL !!!
RW rag can't raise money from RWer's LOL
That's GREAT NEWS!!
Will Faux Noise find themselves in a similar state now that their buddies are not able to get all that free money from the taxpayers?????
See, what the Sun should have done was hire Jonah Goldberg as editor. Then his mommy Luciane would have funded the paper.
I wish they all would.
And I hope everybody who worked there ends up on the street, since that's the laissez fair policies they endorsed.
And they're all still shocked that the idiot they put in the White House doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.
You can't make this stuff up.
That's why they are closing (it's actually a miracle, and likely a statement to the desperate donations of bitter rightwing richfolks, that it made it into the current millenium). But it is hilarious to see this nasty, spiteful right-wing rag blame THE HOLY FREE MARKET for its demise.
Good riddance. Now if only Murdoch's vile cesspool of a rag the Post would vanish, life would be even better. Too bad he's got enough money to sell the thing for pennies and ensure his mind-lock on New York's ignorant wingnut hordes.

Andrea Mitchell, NBC Reporter
MSNBC's Morning Joe
Andrea Mitchell said on MSNBC's Morning Joe that former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich,, worked very hard behind the scenes to kill the bailout plan, despite issuing a statement that he would have supported the legislation if where still in Congress
Mitchell Said:
"I am told reliably by leading Republicans who are close to him. He was whipping against this up until the last minute.... Newt Gingrich was telling people in the strongest possible language that this was a terrible deal, not only that it was a terrible deal., that it was a disaster it was the end of democracy as we know it that it was socialism, and then at the last minute comes out with a statement when the vote was already in play"
You always see them in stores in Manhattan late in the day because no one buys them. The Times and the tabloids usually sell out daily. Even free papers like AM New York and the others fair much better.
As they would say about other failed businesses, the market determined their fate.
Don't count out the possibility of a last minute acquisition by Murdock. He may seek to purge the paper for it's conservative writers to incorporate them into the NY Post.
Because I can't imagine there are too many NYers that would actually buy the Sun on a regular basis.
