Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

American History and Black History can not be separated.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

T R E 4 5 O N

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Contempt for the audience

I’m sick of talking about the NYT pay wall, but sometimes I just can’t get over how much media elites despise their customers. Pinch Sulzberger (via John Gruber):

“Can people go around the system?” Sulzberger asked during an appearance at The Paley Center for Media here. “The answer is yes. There are going to be ways. Just as if you run down Sixth Avenue right now and you pass a newsstand and grab the paper and keep running you can actually get the Times free,” he said.

“We have to accept that. Is it going easy? No. Is it going to be done by the kind of people who buy the quality news and opinion of the New York Times? We don’t think so,” he said.

“It’ll be mostly high school kids and people out of work,” Sulzberger said, before adding “I can’t believe I said that.”

There’s this strange undercurrent of hatred towards anyone who reads news online, they’re angry bloggers in the their pajamas, they’re high school kids and people out of work! I don’t see how this bodes well for elite media as we move towards a world where everyone reads the paper on line and most try to avoid paying for it if they can do so easily.

    If they actually respected their customers then they’d actually provide “quality news and opinion”.

    Or to be more precise, they wouldn’t know what quality was if it came up and bit them on the ass.

    Someone needs to make a blog that does nothing but link to individual NYT articles and blog entries as a way to circumvent the paywall. Call it fuckyouarthursulzberger.com. Hell, someone might have already done it.

    You forgot the “assholes” tag. Where to begin. Let’s see, is Sulzberger saying that the only people who will get around the paywall will be students and the unemployed, who won’t actually read the NYT because they don’t appreciate the “quality” news coverage? Kids are going to steal the NYT just for kicks while the real people who matter will pay full price because all those lifestyle puff pieces are central to their existence or something?

    I give up. Sulzberger seems to be saying that he wants a customer base made up solely of my mother-in-law (my own mother is a NY’er who would so be into getting around the paywall) and three of her closest friends. Good luck with that.

    The perception is that bloggers are a direct threat to putting on a suit and tie, and going to a big building downtown, to do serious journalism(tm).

    It’s not entirely inaccurate.

    (ETA: They went to journalism school, too! Some are still paying off student loans! Who the fuck are these “bloggers”??)

    There’s an undercurrent of hatred towards the young and the poor. Blogging has nothing to do with it. You see this shit in so much policy and so much rhetoric.

    When they talk about minimum wage one common counter-argument is “it’s just kids who get paid minimum wage” as though if you’re under the age of 30, fuck you we’re not giving you any money.

    When they talk about college kids, there’s inevitably some invective about the people being lazy or drug abusers or confused little nobodies without brains. See any argument about student voting rights and how college kids aren’t really residents of their college districts.

    About the only time a kid is given any kind of status is when he’s before a judge, at which point there is nothing you can do to that person that is too extreme. Even if you are a rich kid, the response is “Go have your parents protect you”.

    This culture fucking despises its youth. I’ve seen the shit since I was eight years old. Our parents’ generation absolutely hate us assuming they even give us the time of day. We’re cheap labor on a good day. Peasants to be ignored or kicked on a bad one.

    God I hate those assholes at the NYTimes.

    This morning when I got the ad inviting me to sign up for the on-line access I did. I was prepared to link to Krugman through his twitter feed (as he suggested would be possible). But what the hell, I’m unemployed (although not of high school age) and free is nice however I get it.

    as we move towards a world where everyone reads the paper on line and most try to avoid paying for it if they can do so easily.

    When I went to college, in the mid-1990s, and first got on the Web, I was shocked that everyone just had all their content up there for free. “What a bizarre moment in time,” I thought.

    Now those are entrenched expectations for everyone under, I dunno, 35.

    As to the viability of getting people to pay for content, Matt Yglesias pointed out recently that this is a new idea– news has always been mostly supported by advertisers.

    Oh, and all those annoying lifestyle sections that have proliferated over the years need to just disappear as in DIAF.

    New technology wreaks havoc on the distributors. We’ve seen it in music, and publishing. Newspapers also fall in that positions. The one service they really offer now is aggregating content and distributing income from that. They should be able to do that online in the same way they do now: Charge advertisers for eyeballs. They just haven’t figured out yet that they’re not going to get their $1 per issue sold.

    I’ve solved Sulzberger’s problem for him. Since 2003, when the NY Times decided to become a pipline for war propaganda, a mouthpiece for the Bush administration, and an cheerleader for American conservatism, I stopped reading them online.

    Hopefully that will satisfy his sensibilities regarding us horrid internet people.

    I also no longer read it in print, either.

    That will, in the long run, give Sulzberger considerably more heartburn than the idea of some guy in his pajamas reading the daily literary masterworks of his pet stable of reporters on an iPad.

    Because high school kids and people out of work deliberately and wantonly turned down every chance to not be high school kids or people out of work.

    The undercurrent of hatred toward the young and the poor that Zifnab mentioned in #16 is directly attributable to decades of conservative efforts to set us against each other. Cut a group away from the herd, vilify it, deprive it of a voice. Lather, rinse, repeat.

    I really can’t see why what he said is all that bad… If you asked me who I think might try to get around the pay wall, I’d say the exact same thing, except he probably meant college kids, not high-school kids. (And if that’s a problem, they should probably grant academic subscriptions)

    It was slightly asshole-ish, and I think he realized it when he said it, but I think you all just need to stop reading into this stuff so heavily.

    I don’t know what NYT’ financial situation is exactly, but I can’t imagine online ads are enough to keep funding the kind of journalism they do. With paper readership on the decline, I can’t really blame them for wanting to flirt with a pay wall (I’ll gladly eat crow though if someone can point me towards a good analysis of their financials). The pricing scheme is shit though.

    March 24, 2011 at 3:58 pm

    @beltane: No, actually. Apparently where he errs is presuming that the NYT should be entitled to a business model that actually generates income.

    The unspoken problem here is Google and the online payment merchants. The former is effectively the sole gatekeeper to online advertising revenue, which NYT is unable to make work for their case. The latter have ensured that there is no micropayment infrastructure capable of handling small transactions to allow them to do a la carte consumption. So what options do they have? Full paywall for print subscribers only and tell the online folks to fuck off completely, or some hybrid bastard like they’ve come up with.

    I agree that their payment model is flawed, but I disagree that they have no right to be paid.

    FWIW I “pirate” a majority of the time when I read a print newspaper. There might be one left on a counter when I’m eating or waiting somewhere, or in a waiting room. Things like that.

    That’s how people “pirate” in real life. Like it or not, content is free for the majority of people. It’s thought of as to be free. What we pay for is the packaging of the content.

    What the NYT and other papers haven’t done is come up with a package that’s compelling to pay for. And I suspect they won’t.

    Why should news be any different? Are we that spoiled by the internet that we think everything should be free?

    If so then who exactly is going to pay for all of the reporting the NYT provides? Are the Sulzburgers going to run the Times at a loss out of the goodness of their hearts?

    Indeed. It is even more obvious at magazines than it is at newspapers. You can get things like Time for a yearly subscription fee that hardly covers the mailing costs.

    The main problem for the publishers is that they can’t convince the advertizers to pay the same for online publications as print, but that is there own fold. Advertizers shouldn’t care about piracy btw, the more people see their ads the better.

This was when the Times was still supporting her. “Fuck the internet!” she literally shouted. This was in a room full of Times staff. The impression I got was that everyone shared her opinion and that she was saying something that was resonating from the top down.
    I don’t think they’ve changed much over there.

    Be sure and order two print copies of the NYT if you and wifey want to both read it. Because, otherwise you’re practically stealing it and running down the street if you’re the second one to touch the damn thing.

    I’m pretty sure USA Today pays for the janitors at airports to throw away their fishwrap the second it’s abandoned, so that no delayed, snowbound traveler dares read a ‘freebie.’

    Sulzberger is merely adding a contemptuous veneer to the tired refrain of many executives in print journalism: “It’s not our fault the business is in the crapper.”

    Gawd I’ve been hearing this since before I jumped ship. The reason the industry was/is going downhill is because it’s run by people who don’t have ink in their veins. Because when it was, we damn well sold papers for more than two centuries. Goddamn crybabies. It’s all about content. You screwed the pooch. You let beats go dark. You dumbed down the product for people who don’t read. You fired the fact checkers and slapped (yet another) pretty wrapper design and clucked “now the paper’s better.”

    Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to run down Sixth Avenue.

    @Comrade Luke: Seeing the youth as a cash cow and despising it are not mutually antagonistic positions.

    @Mark S.: In my HS days, we used to read the Times for about 10 minutes at the start of every World History class (pretty good deal for both student AND teacher) and one morning I ran across the obituary for Howlin’ Wolf. It kept referring to him as “Mr. Wolf.” Such a self-important combination of dogged insistence on their precious style book and lack of enough good sense to use it with his real name (there was never a Mr. Wolf, but he was Mr. Burnett his whole life, at least after he left Mississippi). The memory of that has always made it impossible for the NYT not to seem a little ridiculous to me.

    Well, who knows, maybe Apple will take over the world with their ipods and ipads and everyone will have to live in their walled garden and the content can be totally controlled and won’t even run on any platform not controlled by Big Biz Inc.

    Yeah, and maybe magic purple unicorns will start shitting hundred dollar bills out of their asses and make us all rich…

    I have no love for the NYTs, but it is quite obvious he meant the people who deliberately tried to circumvent the paywall would be those kinds of people. Still a bit arrogant, but not at all what you’re saying he meant.

    68 comments, and no one* has mentioned this very obvious point. Lazy thinking people, lazy thinking.

    *UPDATE: my mistake, Jonathan at #43 caught it. Maybe there’s some others I didn’t catch with my aging eyes…

    Maybe we’d pay if there was more actual content?

    I pay a seemingly outrageous amount for a FT subscription but I’m perfectly happy to do so because every single article in that newspaper contains some actual news. (About the only time the FT gets silly is on the weekends, and even the “human interest” stuff is actual reporting.)

    The local fishwrap here a.k.a. the Chicago Tribune has over the years filled more and more of their pages with larger and larger ads (usually for cars or fur salons with “big sales!”), a perfunctory nod towards “national and international news” with some AP articles, and less and less reporting of what’s actually going on here in Chicago. No wonder the damn thing went bankrupt.

    The Times has made bad real estate investments. They are resorting to renting out their fancy new Enzo Piano-designed building for wedding parties. Not making this up.

    They want too large a profit. They pay their executives way too much, and they are like doctors — “out of touch”, and with a glaring contempt for anyone outside their charmed circle and with no idea of the extent of what they don’t know or how they come across. Nevertheless, you can find out a lot from reading them carefully, as I.F. Stone used to say. And they do have a few wonderful writers who certainly deserve public acclaim and a decent life-style.

    @Bill: Excellent points. It takes money to produce a quality product. When you skimp & dumb it down, people who are reading it notice.

    Not to mention when you become a Neocon mouthpiece.

    @Morbo:

    a twitter feed was set up as soon as the terms of the paywall were set up.

    also, the nyt official twitter feed acts as basically the same thing.
