New York Times Shuts Down Spanish-Language Platform

Aw, I imagine there are some layoffs involved here.

The New York Times on Tuesday announced the closure of its Spanish-language platform, NYT en Espanol.
"As of today, we've discontinued NYT en Español as a separate, standalone operation. Since it launched in 2016, the site published around 10 high-quality original [stories] and translated New York Times stories…in Spanish," a New York Times spokesperson said in a statement to The Hill.

"We launched NYT en Español as part of an experiment to reach and engage more international readers by extending our coverage to different languages," the statement continued.
"While the Español site did attract a new audience for our journalism and consistently produced coverage we are very proud of, it did not prove financially successful. Our strategy is now focused on our subscription-driven core news report for a global audience."

They've been losing money for at least 25 years now.

A decade or more ago, their market cap was roughly equal to the value of the Manhattan real estate they occupy (in other words, the paper itself was considered to be worth nothing).

That has not improved.

Article at Vanity Fair about whether there should be an age limit for presidents. It has this...

"Trump, the oldest president ever, would be just shy of 80 if he is somehow given another four years, and who knows how old if he makes good on this threat to violate the Constitution and stick around for a third term."

His "threat" to violate the constitution? Oh right the joke he once made about running for a 3rd term, like very other fucking president has done since the 8 year limit was imposed. These people have no sense of humor. None.

112 I shouldn't feel good about this, I know. I really do hope those folks find other jobs. At least it happened now, while the economy is on fire. Unemployment hasn't been this low since 1969. They should be able to find something.
But still. Karma. The NYT itself will be next most likely. Lefty media concerns are beginning to collapse, finally. Get woke, go broke is true even true for them. There are plenty of people drinking the kool aid, but even in NYC there just isn't a big enough slice of the population that's completely nuts enough to support a lefty propaganda outlet like NYT with their own money. Eventually even the donation subsidies from the Soros types that keep them afloat run out. That's probably a good sign.

Meh, it merely lists that "Mr. and Mrs. Barack Obama" had a son on August 4. Ultimately, I think that they weren't necessarily hiding anything shocking, but simply created a lie about his origins to fit the narrative that was being crafted when he first ran for office: that he was the product of a global, interracial love affair. The point was to turn him into a symbol.

My guess has always been that the original Birth Certificate had to be "disappeared" because it was for a White kid named Barry Dunham. (a kid of a single parent, alone, would have been given his mothers name by the hospital)

And that didn't fit in at all with what he was later groomed to be.

198 Yeah. People/companies often want to show a profit as a loss to avoid taxes. Usually doesn't happen the other way around.

But whatever, you're right despite SEC filings and everything else showing a profit, they're really *wink wink* losing money. They just like to pretend to make money and pay taxes.

Posted by: Lurking Lurker - Not In My Purview at September 18, 2019 04:13 PM (FiUMj)

Tax accounting isn't the same as what you see in financial reporting fyi. Depreciation schedules are far more favorable for tax purposes for instance.

218 The birth announcement is in archives of the local Hawaiian newspaper, there's really no question he was born in there. The real question is who was the dad, and was he listed as black or white on his birth certificate? And what was his name actually listed as?
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at September 18, 2019 04:01 PM (KZzsI)

My guess has always been that the original Birth Certificate had to be "disappeared" because it was for a White kid named Barry Dunham. (a kid of a single parent, alone, would have been given his mothers name by the hospital)

And that didn't fit in at all with what he was later groomed to be.

Yeah, that's my thought as well. Its not exotic, its not black, and he's so laser-like fixated on the illusion he created that he cannot allow even the slightest variation from the myth. And as they say, never give up the con.

Anyone with a computer can just hit the "Translate this page" button, set your lamguages preferences, and boom -- any news story you want translated into any language you want.

I imagine that anyone who only speaks Spanish and zero English and who also wants to read the NYTimes simply has "English-Spanish" translation turned on al all times, so they can see the whole paper in Spanish anyway. No need to limit themselves to condescending "Spanish only" content curated to appeal to what the pasty-white NYTimes editors thinks will appeal to such an audience -- taco recipes, how to avoid ICE raids, Frida Kahlo retrospective in Spanish Harlem, etc.

322 OT

The Times of Israel reports: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Wednesday he would not travel to New York for the UN's annual General Assembly later this month after failing to secure sufficient support in elections to form a new government with his right-wing political allies.

Netanyahu's office said he would forgo the trip due to the current "political circumstances," without elaborating. It will be the first time Netanyahu has skipped the General Assembly since 2010, when then-foreign minister and current political nemesis Avgidor Liberman addressed world leaders at the forum.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz, a member of the ruling Likud party, will attend in Netanyahu's stead, the Prime Minister's Office said. The General Assembly opens this year on September 24, a day before the Central Elections Committee is to present the final results from Tuesday's election to President Reuven Rivlin. The president has until October 2 to task a lawmaker with assembling a government.

383 Dear Raimondo,

"The RNC smashed another fundraising record last month," tweeted RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. "Between [President Trump's] accomplishments and our grassroots infrastructure, Republicans are going to be unstoppable in 2020!"

That tweet followed another by McDaniel directed to Demcorats and "Hollywood liberals" thanking them for helping Trump's re-election campaign raise over $15 million in deep blue California.

"To all the Democrats who demonize half the country..." she wrote, "To all the Hollywood liberals who want us boycotted... It's because of you that [President Trump's] team is raising over $15 MILLION in California. Thank you!"

Best wishes.

386 311 I think the secret about Columbia is that he went to the open-enrollment School of General Studies, not Columbia College, the prestigious Ivy. Funny thing is, I don't think there's any shame in that; indeed, it could be spun as an up-by-my-bootstraps story. I think the secret about Harvard is that he was admitted as an Indonesian. He did travel to Pakistan on some kind of passport, and there's no record that he had a US passport at that age, so it makes sense that Barry Soetero would claim to be an Indonesian student when applying to Harvard. He actually did very well there academically and had a shot at being #1 in his class going into his 3L year, so it's not his grades that they're hiding.

390 322 Netanyahu's office said he would forgo the trip due to the current "political circumstances,"
Posted by: artisanal 'ette

After reading a bunch of articles about the stalemate today, I figured out what's going on:

Overall, the conservative/relgious/right-wing parties combined are still about 60% of the Knesset.

The left-wing/Arab parites combined are about 40% of the Knesset.

So what's the problem?

There's a huge rift on the right-wing side, and they can't get along or form a coalition together. The core problem within the 60% conservative camp is a major split between the religious conservatives and the secular right-wingers. The biggest secular party absolutely refuses to sit down with the two biggest religious parties, in a dispute over how religious the government should, and over military exemption for Yeshiva students, which basically means all Orthodox 18-year-olds.

So the leader of the second-place secular right-wing party - Liberman -- is holding out and refusing all alliances, in the narcisisstic ambitious hope that HE will be named "compromise Prime Minister."

But there is no calculus that ANY kind of coalition can be formed to create a stable government, left-wig OR right-wing. Because Liberman not only refuses to join up with Netanyahu, but also refuses to join up with the Arab parties. And the secular conservatives plus JUST the left is still under 50%. So there's no way any coalition can ever reach 50%, which under their system mean paralysis and stalemate,

Basically, the whole county is up the creek.

396 Dear Raimondo,

President Donald Trump's re-election campaign launched a "Make Campus Great Again" program for the fall, and College Democrats aren't happy about it.

The program kicked off at the University of Akron on Monday, with more than 50 students from that school and Cleveland State University, Walsh University, and Kent State University gathered at an event to show support for Trump and get trained on registering voters for the 2020 election. The program is managed by Trump Victory, a joint fundraising entity between the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee, working with the Ohio Federation of College Republicans. The two groups teamed up to launch a Trump Victory Leadership Initiative throughout Ohio colleges and universities to train and recruit campus activists for the president's re-election efforts.

Best wishes.

424 Christopher, I never personally saw his grades, but I know 2 members of the faculty who at the time were very open about who was at the top of the class academically. Assuming you take all easy electives to get A's, that comes down to performance on first-year core course exams, which are graded blind. Taking a law school exam is a specialized skill that requires being able to look at a complex fact pattern and say, "The answer is A under Jones v. Smith's principle of XYZ, unless the ABC rule established by Black v. White prevails, in which case the answer is B, which may be limited by the holding in Green v. Blue," and then writing an essay explaining that answer. Taking a law school exam has only tangential relevance to actually doing a job as a lawyer.
