I feel that NYTimes is the only news organization that has been able to transition to the Digital Era. Does anyone else know of any other old-school news organization that nicely transitioned to the Digital Era?

The Guardian?

The Economist is doing pretty well. I've been a subscriber for more than ten years. Now I still get my copy delivered on Friday, but for a little less money (no more print copy), to my iPhone and iPad, with audio for every article.

Devil's advocate: reporting on the polling numbers as they come in can cloud the decisions people make at the polls, and the entire process of trying to determine who's winning serves no useful purpose in daily life other than as pure subjective entertainment. Normally I would say we should all just use online voting ( edit: online registration & mailed voting ) the way 3 states (Washington, Oregon, and Nevada) curre…

Washington uses 100% paper mail in ballots, not online voting.

Ah my bad, online registration and mailed voting which is displayed online.

I lost all trust in the NYT after Wikileaks revealed how they sabotaged Bernie Sanders and acted as a PR agency for the Clinton campaign. http://observer.com/2016/10/wikileaks-new-york-times-propped... https://medium.com/@Starkweather/new-york-times-edited-berni... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/bernie-sand...

I am genuinely curious about this. Do you have a better source handy?

It depends on what you mean by 'better'. The sources I linked are reporting on emails from Wikileaks. Therefore, I think Wikileaks would be the best source for the raw information without any editorializing or spin.

I doubt some media outlets would offer any decent reporting on these leaks as it damaged their credibility (e.g. Huffington Post, CNN, Politico, NYT, etc)

Then at least link to the emails you find objectionable? Everything I've seen is just the normal process of reporters talking to the people they cover.

I thought he was talking about Wikileaks sabotaging Bernie and being the PR firm, but I realized he meant the NYT was doing it.

Yes. And tax advertising (or even all forms of communication, as there is 90% overlap) to pay for that.

How would you define "advertising" for purposes of this tax?

The president creates a new post, the ad czar, who browses the internet, clicking on all the ads. Every time they click, a tax is assessed.
