New York Times to readers: 'We lie, but PLEASE keep paying us!'

New Years Times begs readers to stay.

The media machine that is the New York Times has publicly confessed to its bias, and promises to do better. We'd like to ask when its editorial board will be resigning and why do people still subscribe to a publication that has violated its fiduciary responsibility to the public.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - The truth has emerged, the New York Times is just another yellow-journalism rag dedicated to fabricating reality and telling you what to think. This is no crime, indeed it's how most "media outlets" operate today; people like to get their information from sources that match their opinions. However, when you are the New York Times and you pass yourself off as unbiased, misconstruing the truth is a serious offense.

Another way to say, "misconstruing" is to say lying. The New York Times lied by depicting the Clinton campaign as an organized machine and the Trump campaign as some kind of discombobulated, chaotic mess. This has an impact on public opinion because it influences perception. How else would an intelligent person vote? You would have to be a tremendous fool to vote for the candidate that cannot even run an election campaign. Such coverage certainly aided Hillary Clinton by winning her votes.

Yet now we know the Trump campaign was not a mess. Trump was not a fringe candidate. He enjoyed mainstream support. His campaign may not have been organized to the level of Obama's campaign in 2012, but it was incredibly efficient. With just 20 percent the budget of the Clinton campaign, Trump won the presidency. If anything, President-elect Trump's campaign is an example of genius, after all, he won and he spent a lot less money to do so.

On Friday, which is the day bad news is released, the New York Times issued a letter begging its readers to remain as subscribers. After the crime comes the impassioned plea for mercy. Yet there was no mercy for the truth? The truth was sacrificed for power.

The New York Times played its part for Hillary Clinton, delivering unsuspecting readers to her campaign. What would their prize have been? More access to Hillary Clinton in the White House? Clinton is notorious for selling access.

Why an apology at all? Why a plea for readers to remain subscribed? The New York Times was caught with its hands in the broken cookie jar of liberal power politics, and now it's bleeding subscribers.

The number of news sources that provide truth have dwindled to very few. It is a shame that the much maligned "alt-right" news media is actually the one segment that seems to be telling the truth. The mainstream media has sold its soul to the left. But that's widely known, it just hasn't been widely confessed.

The New York Times is a morally bankrupt publication without any soul. If they want to retain their credibility, they need to fire their editorial board and take a new tack, reporting the facts as they are, not as their editors want them to be. They need to avoid the appearance of seeking favor with the allegedly popular candidate, which can be done by not seeking favor with the allegedly popular candidate.

As for retaining their readers, good luck. According to their own reports, the New York Times continues to lose print subscribers. The publication claims its online subscriptions are rising, but that doesn't mean much in an age of declining online ad revenue. And even with the online subscriptions on the rise, the company continues to hemorrhage revenue. In 2015, the company lost about ten million dollars from the previous year.

Sorry Carlos Slim, but at the rate you're going, you're not going to hit your goal of $800 million in annual revenue by 2020. Perhaps if you stop trying to shape public opinion and content yourself with informing it, you can stay a business a while longer?
