Such anger doesn't look good on you, Ken, and sorry you feel that way.
Personally, I don't see where I criticized either the NYT (and saying that haters call it "Slim's Slimes" isn't a personal criticism) or agreed with the OP's premise. But if that's what you believe, then that's what you believe. Sorry again.
You lied in the subject line. You lied about what the article said. You lied about Carlos Slim owning the NYTimes.
Now you try to shift the issue away from your lying to "criticizing" the NYTimes, and try to say you didn't necessarily agree with what *you* wrote in the OP? WTF?
Anger about a liar doesn't look half as bad on me as being a liar does on you. You deserve to be called out for what you are, in the hope that others will also see you as you are. Those of us who were around before your unfortunately impermanent exile will remember that you were a liar back then, too. You admitted as much when you acknowledged posting things you knew were wrong.
I didn't write the OP, Ken. You need to take your criticisms to Mr. H. for that. As far as Carlos Slim, he had a lot of stock in the NYT, but that's not the same as owning it, which you correctly pointed out (I think the Sulzbergers own it, correct?). At any rate, Slim has indicated he plans to slash his Times holdings from 17% to 8%.
As far as the rest goes, I'm sorry for angering you so much. In my case, as I've pointed out freely, you should take what I say and start by immediately discounting 50% of that and then negotiating with me for further markdowns on the price.
