Jed Babbin writes about the financial and ethical meltdown of the New York Times.
One wonders how long the stockholders (including the other Sulzbergers) will continue to put up with Pinch’s blinkered incompetence? It’s going to take a lot of work to restore the brand, at this point.

Hitting Them Where It Hurts
I woke up yesterday morning to over three hundred trackback spams. These are a real pain in the ass, because when they come in a flood like that from a single spammer (in this case it was pr0n), it’s hard to search through them to find the random ones from others, which needs to be done to clean them all out.

It looks interesting, and if everyone did it, it would make life much more difficult for these supreme scum of the earth. As I type these words I just got two series of half a dozen or so from mortgage lenders.
