So says Bill Clark – from $0.50 to $0.75 to $1.00, all in just a few months. I wouldn’t buy it at fifty cents so I guess I’m saving twice as much now but judging from its on-line content, it doesn’t seem to be twice as good as before. Quite the contrary, now that the paper is down to one reporter and the almost-retired but still loveable nonogenarian, Bernie Yudain.
On the other hand, Peter Pervert was complaining in court the other day that his newsprint business was down, so perhaps this is Greenwich Time’s sly effort to subsidize the little fella and ensure that he keeps gracing Greenwich with novelty art like Santa with Butt Plug. I think I’ll keep my money home.
Yeah, it’s kind of silly that GT raised it’s price when you can read the main stories on its Web site the night before.
Brant is truly a world-class a-hole. Newsprint is on the way out, but he is in to many other businesses (for example, he bankrolled the biggest media release in history, (his son’s) video game “Grand Theft Auto”, which grossed over $1 BILLION. His estimated (in the divorce proceeding) net worth of $460M is probably understated by half.
