    Not to mention he's from morally bankrupt Ontario.

        It's not being bigoted when it's true.

          Things are changing since you left.

          Ford is looking for the gravy train in Toronto and McGuinty is updating his resume (bad news for Harper if history holds true).

            Didn't the NYT try this pay for viewing stuff in the past and give it up as a failure? Personally, I agree with Asher that if netflix will let me see an unlimited number of movies and unlimited number of times for just $8.95 per month then $15 per month for one newspaper's electronic edition is a complete joke. They can accept the reality that they need to charge massively less for the electronic edition compared to the print edition and forget all the multilevel cost structure nonsense or they can simply get nothing as most people tell them to **** off. I generally like the NYT but I won't pay for online access to their articles especially because I can already get free access to the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, and tons of other newspapers around the world. The NYT needs to understand that they're not fricking special enough to demand premium prices for internet content especially such absurd amounts.

              Frankly, they don't care what you think
              And they know many people will settle for their free stuff, or hack around to get their pay stuff for free.

              The reality is that much of their target audience for this will be businesses and people who will think that the 15 bucks a month (I agree that multiple price levels for different types of access is simply pure greed and will probably be dropped after they test it) is nothing and will pay it simply because it is easy to do. Their audience will probably not care whether it's 5, 10 or 15 dollars, they will simply give a credit card number and be done with it.

              To many people and businesses, the NYT is fricking special enough... and will be more than willing to pay for it.
              There are a limited number of papers that can get away with it, and they are one of them.

                  BBC isn't free. The Brits pay for it.

                    It's well worth it.

                    I've seen what happens to the TV news media in places like the US where you don't have it.

                      The BBC is top-notch. I'm glad you fund my entertainment.

                        I'm not a Brit. Moby, Mike, CH & PH pay for it. I freeload.

                        Thanks gents.
