Incubus - Nice to know you

3 months before I submit my put option.

What a ripoff. I could MAYBE understand it if it was a Hard Copy of a newspaper. Least You would have something leftover to wrap Your dead fish in. But an ONLINE newspaper?? Come on this is just greed pure and simple greed.

Larry

if people want to pay it then fine. charge $2,500 a year if you can get it.

why someone would pay that when so much information is available for free seems silly.

Good freakin' luck putting that genie back in the bottle, Newsday.

Buh-bye, Newsday.

whats that I hear in the background

its either taps or the sound of democrats getting ready to BAIL OUT NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES..

control the media

That should shut Woke up.

fuck em

Members of the Offical Drudge Retort Angler's Club get a discount.

Maybe that $260 is the raise they gave Ellis Henican for 2009. Which IMO should be about a 10% increase in salary.

yeah for a liberal he's not TOO annoying.......
he IS the one that oreilly has on from time to time isnt he?

^.^

I second the motion that Newsday is about to have a serious financial downturn ... you can't charge much for non-specialized online news and make a profit.

They're just anticipating the looming government regulation of the internet. Soon, internet media/blogs will need to get some sort of license that will cost some outrageous fee. A fee I doubt RCADE would be willing to pay, but large news corporations will. After that, internet news will turn into the same syndicated crap you see on television. Its exactly what they did to television.

so will newsweek cover something like
farakahan's statement about the swine flu is just a way to rid the world of its too many people

or the bullshit from the senate dems on the DR FIX nonsense that failed miserable

or acorn
and the communists and the people who admire MAO in the white house
I think not.
well not the whole story anyway.

They too will get a bailout form the little o.

And the righties Obama fixation lives on.

This is just the free market at work. And Newsday at the morgue.

And the righties Obama fixation lives on.

Obama is mentioned how many times??

Oh, and BTW, there is another NEW Palin thread you and corky can masterbate to....

Northguy: do a "ctrl + F" search of this page and you will see that the term "Obama" does not appear until your post. Also search "President", Barack", "flop" and there are no results.

LOL. I won't even register to read a story.

"OMG! The sky is falling. It's a communist plot I tell ya!", the cry of the right.

...of course we all know it's really a capitalist attempt to make a buck. I wish them all the luck.

It's got nothing to do with internet regulating or internet fees. If anything the FCC it trying to keep the capitalists from jerking the rug out from under all the little guys. Why can't right wing fanatics figure out that they will be muzzled too if the big boys have their way?

Even though I have Optimum Online, that rag isn't worth my time.

That's funny. If the dummytards have not noticed there are about 100000000 FREE news sites. But thiers is soooo special that people will pay.....NOT!
