Don't Bet Against Rupert Murdoch's Success with 'The Wall Street Journal'new

If the New York Times Disappears, Will the World Survive?new
There is no Me Decade, no Free Decade, no E! Decade. Newspapers aren't dying. Television didn't destroy the movie business, movies didn't destroy books, books didn't destroy cave paintings. The sky isn't falling and Gay Talese will get everything he needs via fax and the future isn't going to be so bad, really, because it turns out the future is now, and nothing has really changed.

The Times Ignores Real Issues in Stagehand Strikenew
It's curious to me how The New York Times justifies its blatantly frivolous treatment of the striking Broadway stagehands, instead concentrating on the inconveniences the shutdown has caused affluent New Yorkers and tourists who now won't be able to fork over the exorbitant ticket prices that a show like "Jersey Boys" commands.

In most of the city your alternatives for cable are most likely Time Warner or ... Time Warner. If you live in the Bronx or eastern Brooklyn, Cablevision's got you covered. Either way, you're kinda screwed.
