73%: No Newspaper Worth $2.50

Polling random people across the country about their feelings on the New York Times newsstand price is idiotic -- and this polling firm ought to know better. Most people don't read the New York Times or find value in it because, well, they care nothing about world class journalism or life outside their own little orbit. It's like asking people who eat regularly at Arbys how they feel about the prices at Le Bec Fin. The Times has a relatively small paid circulation and relatively few people pick it up -- but those who do know that it delivers more useful information that any magazine or cable television network priced far higher. The poll results are absolutely meaningless.
