Letter to Editor:

Boycott of the New York Times-

As a veteran of the Vietnam Conflict, I am calling on all veterans to immediately boycott the New York Times and any companies they are associated with and any firm that advertises in the paper. On Jan. 29, 2007 the New York Times published the photograph of a mortally wounded soilder and then posted the video on their website. The video and photographs were furnished by two of the NYT embedded reported in direct disregard of their signed agreements. This information was posted prior to the family being officially informed by the military of their son’s death. I have asked the NYT to fire all of the employees that were involved in this event and make a public apology in person to the young man’s family, not that a big corporation would stoop this low, but they could stoop lower to put his last moments alive on a web site. So fellow veterans the e-mail to the publisher is publisher@nytimes.com lets get the word out and let the media we know that we object to their tactics.

I belong to a rather large community of investors. It might amuse you to know that after the bank reporting incident, one investor suggested buying NYT stocks. Even people who are very bottom-line conscious were all over him. One stated he wouldn't even use the NYT in his out house (even though I'm sure he hasn't had one of those for ages.) Believe me, the NYT is digging their own grave with a backhoe! I’m not sure that the NYT even cares about sales at this point…or even their stock price.
