Media bail-out? How about a media bail-in?
I received a solicitation from the New York Times in the mail. They were nice enough to include a postage paid Business Reply Mail envelope.
Which I immediately sent back to them.
Empty.
It is only $0.42 out of their pocket. But it can't help, right?
Call it a media "bail-in."

I do this for the NYT, Sports Illustrated and of course the AARP, representing the richest demographic in America who whine to take money from the pockets of the poorest.
Dial 1-800-631-2580. Keep them on the line as long as possible.
whats wrong with working people making $20 an hour?, you republicans whin and complain about people making to much money, its pretty sad, I can only wonder what working people in your town earn and what kind of living standard they have, you must have lots of poverty low wage
George.....you had kind of a knee-jerk Bush/Repug hatred thing going there. Theo never said anything was wrong with people making $20 an hour nor did he complain that anyone was.
He merely pointed out that it would cost the New York Times more than just the $0.42 for the return mail because it still had to be handled by people that were paid money to handle it.
In fact, when did a Republican ever whine about people making too much money? Okay, you got me there.....I meant conservative, not Republican.
Actually, I was kind of making fun of someone (and there are a lot of you out there, gb) who is making $20 an hour doing nothing or certainly nothing productive. Kind of like the genius in the NYT marketing department that though it would be cost effective to mail subscription solicitations to the high income portions of the 797__ zip code. (I got one, too.) I doubt that "investment" will pay out.
There seem to be an awful lot of ass-holes who work for $20.00 an hour.
I would like to make $20.00 an hour.
At 62 years old , how can I become one of these ass-holes ?
Is it too late for me ?
Does your daughter own a liquor store?
Seriously , inquiring minds need to know !>
Cringe.
The light of dawn shines upon my wordage of the night before and I realize apologies are in order.
Therefore, I am sorry for my use of strong language but not my thoughts.
Nor do I blame all that spicy rum .
It's Vaughns fault.
All of it.
...we TOLD you to not hang out with Vaughn, but did you listen? Did you? Hmmm?
Don't forget that there is a $20 an hour mail clerk in Northvale, New Jersey (I wonder why not in NYC?) that will open your envelope, curse quietly to herself and then talk about another one of those jerks from flyover country sending an empty envelope with her counterparts while standing around the coffee maker. Total cost to the NYT: around $5. Walser's smile while contemplating the above coffee maker discussion: priceless.
