New York Times:

Nearly every paper in America has lost circulation, but The Post more than most -- down almost 30 percent in 2.5 years, to 508,000 in the most recent reporting period, against 544,000 for The Daily News.

anytime I click on an article and it's from murdochs ' papers or tv stations, i just delete.

[stagebandman]

It's a start....

everytime murdoch loses money, i have a little holiday.

People are finally seeing the Post for what it is - Murdock's r@cist rag. Moving upward and onward.

[sski74]

*Murdoch. Sheesh, 2nd time today I misspelled a name. Sorry.

That's what you get for putting Shane Victorino in a skirt.

What a difficult business. Put there, of course, by....us...the people who are here and on the other hundred plus national and local online "news" sources.

The NYT, down 7% to under 1 million for the first time in years, didn't do as well as the WSJ (up .6% to 2 million) but handily beat the SF Chronicle (-25%), the Boston Globe (slightly better at - 18.5% than the Post at - 18.8%) and so on.

The reason the NY Post is losing circulation is that more and more people aren't literate enough to read simple news copy anymore.
As the Atlantic magazine story asked in the July/ August 2008 issue cover story: "Is Google Making Us Stoopid?"
Absolutely.

[socialtalker]

i dont see how that is the reason. there is nothing special about "real news copy"

[01202009]

Oh, good! Any time I hear that News Corp is losing money my heart skips a beat! About the only thing keeping Murdoch afloat these days is Fox, so boycott the advertisers. It's working.

[bigmacha]

Can the WSJ be far behind?

[MadeandBakedintheUSA]

nope

[NYC07]

See, not all the news you read is bad.

[ObamAtomic]

Another Mardoch failing venture.

[rocketman19]

[NJmikeV]

Flagged for cruelty to parakeets.

[eyelashviper]

Funny!

[MadeandBakedintheUSA]

Intellect, Google vs WSJ/Murdoch: Dumb it Down Mr President
