this has just got to be driving cheetolini batty, his arch nemesis is feeding off every idiotic rant, making the big bucks lol......


Trump has turned out to be a weird kind of guardian angel for The New York Times, even though he constantly berates the Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper as “failing” and for peddling “fake news.” But each time the president attacks more readers than ever buy subscriptions, executive editor Dean Baquet revealed.


“Trump is the best thing to happen to the Times’ subscription strategy,” Baquet grinned on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” Sunday. “Every time he tweets it drives subscriptions wildly.”

Reporter Brian Stelter noted that Trump has referred to the Times as “failing” 53 times in a drumbeat of tweets. It’s simply not true, said Baquet. “Our digital subscriptions are going through the roof. Even print subscriptions are up. We’re a profitable company. We’re a big, vibrant, important newsroom.”
