As everyone(but the promotion crew) knows, the iPad is unable to view Flash content.  I couldn’t help but chuckle.  To promote their online edition, they’re giving away a reader that can’t view their online edition.

That’s some fine promoting there, Lou.

I think anyone willing to pay upwards of $700 for an iPhone with a weight problem will very likely pay $30 a month to read what the NY Times considers news-worthy.

Which leads me to this hard-hitting comparison:

This is the kind of fair and balanced journalism that I can get behind.

Then I found out I didn’t have to, since Peewee Herman has already done it for me.
