The New York Times is Doomed

By Rich Kozlovich

Okay, so I've been saying that for years and they still manage to continue fouling up the world of "journalism", which they've been doing for over 100 years.  Here are my commentaries about not only the NYT, but the media as a whole.

• The Media Has History: And it's Not Pretty 
• New York Times Has No Credibility!
• The Lady is a Hag
• What is the News Worth Knowing and Why Don't We Know It? 
  

But now the NYT story has taken an interesting twist.  It appears "Hundreds of New York Times Staffers Strike Before Election Day", and what are their demands?  And this is really interesting.  These are the techies, a lot of them, 600 in fact, picketing and shouting, “Shut it down”.  Really?  Shut it down?  Remarkable, and if that happens they already have high paying jobs where?   But perhaps they have good reasons for that view, after all they did try to negotiate a settlement and apparently the NYT didn't go it.    So what did the union ask for? 

1. No scented products in break rooms.  
2. Unlimited break time. 
3. Accommodations for pet bereavement.
4. Mandatory trigger warnings in company meetings discussing events in the news. 
5. Non white staffers being paid more to attend conferences.  (A flagrant violation of employment laws)

And the management found these demands outlandish.  Imagine that.   Here's what they offered:

1. A 2.5 percent annual wage increase.  Given inflation that's not that good. 
   
2.  A minimum 5 percent pay increase for promotions.
3. A $1,000 ratification bonus, whatever that means.
4. A promise to maintain the pandemic-era hybrid work schedule of two in-office days per week through June.
5. Allowing staff to work fully remotely for three weeks each year."  

So, you can see why it was necessary to hit the picket lines with outrageous offerings such as this, right?  Actually having to come to work two days a week.  Outrageous!

 

Are they striking over what I would consider an inadequate increase in pay, or the other five idiotic demands?  Who knows, they're leftists, rational thought has little influence on why they do what they do.  

Well, there's a degree of schadenfreude here as the NYT is a hub for promoting far left fantasies, lies, and corruption of thought.  This reminds me of theof misfits who fled Hitler's Germany and contaminated America's universities promoting all the student violence that started in the 60's.  They were shocked when the very students they were corrupting revolted and their classrooms became out of control. 

When the NYT finally does close it's doors, the nation should declare that day a one time national holiday, and the same goes for CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, and the rest of the Pravda media.
