I CAN SAVE THE NYTIMES IN FOUR STEPS

 1 - BECOME THE PAPER OF RECORD AGAIN BY KEEPING OPINION OUT OF THE NEWSROOM.

THE NEW MOTTO BECOMES "ALL THE FACTS YOU NEED, AND JUST THE FACTS".

 IMAGINE, OBJECTIVE REPORTING.

 2 - BUY SNOPES OR OUT SNOPES SNOPES BY FACT-CHECKING OTHER MEDIA.... ALL MEDIA AND ALL NEWSMAKERS.

BECOME THE NEWS COMPANY PEOPLE TURN TO FOR THE FACTS.

3 - END THE PROGRESSIVE CRUSADES IN THE NEWS ARTICLES.

PURSUE THE NEWS, AND STOP TRYING TO MAKE IT.

 4 - END ALL ENDORSEMENTS. LET OP-ED WRITERS OPINE, BUT KEEP THE PAPER NEUTRAL.

THE NATION NEEDS AN OBJECTIVE PAPER OF RECORD. ONE PEOPLE OF ALL POLITICAL PERSUASIONS CAN TURN TO.

AND ONE WITH A GLOBAL STAFF.

THE NATION DOESN'T NEED ANOTHER PROGRESSIVE PAPER.

IF THE NYTIMES WANTS TO SURVIVE, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD.

ALL SULZBERGER AND SLIM HAVE TO DO IS DECIDE TO PUT TRUTH AHEAD OF THEIR MONEY-LOSING LEFT-WING AGENDA.

TOO BAD THEY PROBABLY LACK THE BALLS OR THE SELF-AWARENESS TO DO ANY OF THIS.
