The New York Times will stop charging for its website. No more "TimesSelect," no more access denied to articles older than two weeks. Everything from 1987 onward will be FREE. Tomorrow, the news will be liberated.

Not like they are making money anyway.

As if anyone still cares. NYT is not worth looking at, even for free.

Now I can get all the anti-white, anti-american, pro-black criminal, limousine-liberal hypocrisy for free. Truly a great day.

Murdoch said the the Online WSJ may go free too.
The Times should be very afraid.

This just means that the fee-based service wasn't working. Wonder how they're going to survive long term...

"Wonder how they're going to survive long term..."
They're not, at least not in any form that exists now. I expect them to become a local paper or a real boutique rag, like the Utne Reader or some other type of periodical that nobody seems to buy or read (except for pseudo-intellectual liberals). Check out the decline in stock value over the years. Not a crash and burn, but a slow decline into unprofitablity and soon, irrelevance. Way to go Sulzberger!
Too bad really, they had an article some years ago about Long Island Sound. A real masterpiece.
