How would you like your Times bashing to be served today?

jaketbrooks:

New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger and Times CEO and paywall doyenne Janet Robinson sat down for a Q&A with graduate journalism students at Columbia. According to the published reports, it didn’t go so well.

1) The New York Times is lead by a bunch of out-of-touch elitists: Arthur Sulzberger: ‘It’s harder’ for poor people to access the New York Times

2) The New York Times is lead by a bunch of out-of-touch pencil pushers: NYT’s Arthur Sulzberger and Janet Robinson Insist the Paywall is Not a Paywall

3) The New York Times is lead by a bunch of out-of-touch rich people who possibly overspend on technology: Sulzberger: $40 Million Estimate For Paywall Cost Is ‘Vastly Wrong’

4) The New York Times is lead by a bunch of irritable curmudgeons: Arthur Sulzberger’s New York Times Paywall Defense.

Classists! Capitalist pigs! Rich ignoramuses! Patronizing snobs! Tough crowd.
