The New YorkWaste of Times in a move to support Michael Schiavo has cut off it's life support system. This is rich, really frank(ly) rich.
--> about 3/4 the way into the interview: Five Minutes With: Paul Krugman
Thursday, November 10, 2005Q: [CAMPUS PROGRESS] How do you feel about Times select? We are a bit heart-broken about it.
A: [KRUGMAN] There's no question that for the columnists, Times Select was a really significant reduction in readership and it
happened just as the dam is breaking on the indictments and all of that, and now people like Frank Rich and myself who would normally be emailed all over the place are suddenly behind a pay wall. On the other hand, the Times is a business, and it has to pay its way. It is encouraging that now columnists are a profit sector, because they can see who generates revenue. I would certainly have had more
internet hits by a large multiple right now if they hadn't put in Times Select, but I'm living with it.
Hey Krugman...............you're an idiot.
Supply and demand.
I built it, they came.
You projectile spew, they flew......................
hat tip x_dhimmi, today's "Hawk of the day"





The only reason to read Krugman was to be entertained by his inanity, as long as it was free. Same for Dowd, Rich and the rest.

At the risk of stating the obvious, leftists never like a fair fight. To the it's not "fair" unless it's unfair. No surprise that they don't like having to please a market.
