Helpful suggestions for a failing newspaper
I think that the Washington Post is on to something. Newspapers, having forgotten how to deliver the news, need to find other revenue streams. The Washington Post was merely exploring different ways of going about it. The New York Times, in even worse financial shape, might want to consider running a circus.
I'd pay to throw baseballs at a target to dunk Maureen Dowd in a tank of water.
Or, to guess Paul Krugman's weight.
Or, watch Bob Herbert trying to ignore the laws of gravity on a high wire.
Or, Frank Rich in a cage reasoning with lions.
Or, Thomas Friedman putting a sword down this throat while writing about a Bangladeshi doctor he met while waiting for a plane.
Or, to see how many David Brooks can fit in a Volkswagen.
