Who have they alienated now?


It looks like the Gray Lady of American journalism, the vaunted NY Times, just took another 9% hit.

The NY Times, and its web page alternatives, have, like CBS, lost virtually all Republican or conservative readers. The most recent nine percent loss of audience is indicative that the Times brand of yellow journalism has been rejected by an entirely new set of disaffected readers.

Who are they?

Since the WSJ is rapidly gaining market share the Times is now being deserted by the less partisan reader who simply is searching for reliable and accurate coverage of the events and actors of our times, not the causes or politicians that are favored by the fanatic and disingenuous hacks that occupy the Editorial Board at the New York Times.

Aha! The WSJ, whose editorial page is the epitome of objective, rational effusion. Praised be He!

Could it be that conservatives are foresaking the NYT because they can't read or especially can't comprehend?

Did Bill Kristol cancel his op-ed contract?

Would that you conservatives could claim victories in something a tad more substantial the NYT readership.

Art, you bean counting toad, I notice you frequently attack the intelligence of others.

What is your educational background? I'm guessing a midlevel accounting bureaucrat at a mega corp or, more likely, some governmental entity.

Did OK in math, followed accounting 'cause math is pretty easy. Never did well in things like philosophy, English and advanced history because the lack of math's simplistic linearity proved so very difficult for your Petaurillian like thought process.

Might have taken the LSATs but didn't do very well and couldn't put your general accounting or econ degree into law school. Maybe your age antedeates standardized tests so your average grades were the barrier to law or business school. Either way, the failure really scarred you because it was just another objective demonstration of your lifetime search for intellectual mediocrity-a search that I reckon usually comes up lost.

Not sufficiently academically or intellectually capable of the public practice of accounting you spent the last 40 years smugly ruling your own little mental realm where you were free to belittle those around you who earned far better grades, schools and careers as somehow just plain stupid. Probably an asshole to your wife or wives.

Always happy to be the smart kid at the dumb table.

........ and now here's the part you really hate. Even as you have your ended your infinitesimal (a math term for a value of approaching zero) and have all the time in the world to anonymously utter the insults that your previously unimportant station in life required you to keep mostly to yourself, I, unlike you, get to sign my name

Good slam Ted. I always thought his issues seemed to derive from having a small penis. If he truly doesn't give a shit what you think, then he ought to act like he doesn't give a shit and go fuckin away.

Jesus sporie:

Did you ever think about writing fiction? You have a vivid imagination. Might be a good idea to use it for something other than mental masturbation.

I have worked with folks with all sorts of degrees. I have worked directly for multimillionaires. I'm not inclined to get sexually aroused because someone has a title after their name. Especially someone who seems to need to wear it as a badge to prove his worth.

If the tripe you write on here is an example of the writing your did to attain your JD then you become a prime suspect for having bought your degree.

If I were you I'd be afraid that one of the judges you might appear before would read some of your posts on here and refuse to let you in the courtroom on the basis of incompetency.

Good use of your JD; divorce lawyer?

I noticed you referred to the NYT as The Grey Lady.

A more accurate moniker is "The Grey Crack Whore."

Our raison d'ĂȘtre here at TRS

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” John Stuart Mill

We at The Real Sporer believe that the crises of our generation is the preservation of a United States of America based on fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Oddly enough, our generation, that grew in the quiet and secure 50s, 60s and 70s and thought we could escape history now find ourselves at the cross roads of history. At a time when the prevailing media, academic and even now industrial elites find the easy road of paternalistic socialist totalitarianism more expedient to travel we are convinced that only preserving the more traditional America will better provide the well known blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to us and our posterity.

In the real world, the Republican freedom agenda is the only alternative to the thought police and rations commissar of the socialist nanny state. But the agenda that we share with the founding generation, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, will never again prevail if we don't fight our generation's battle to renew America's commitment to freedom with our socialist adversaries.

Our mission statement is therefore clear: provide the information and argument that leads to a Republican Renaissance and Republican governance.
