Mr. Sulzberger, Tear Down This Wall
Slate's Mickey Kaus may soon be a very happy blogger.
Kaus reports there are "rumblings" that the Gray Lady herself, aka New York Times, will admit failure and end its TimesSelect paywall experiment. When it was first announced, columnists grumbled that few readers would pony up the $49.95 per year required for access to their columns. Turns out they were right: according to the company's last earnings report, just around 222,300 non-subscribers pay for the service.
YouTube has video of columnist Thomas Friedman talking smack about TimesSelect.
